Home Depot
(309 West St, Mansfield, 337-2050)
Everyone knows the average Home Depot has more than enough gardening supplies for a small country. They’ve perfected the format of one-stop shopping.

Lowe’s
(1360 S. Washington St, North Attleboro, 508-643-1044)
Lowe’s reminds me of Gene Hackman, because he used to do the voiceover on the ads. Which is weird. A guy wins an Oscar, you figure, why’s he going to do voice overs for a garden/home improvement store? But anyhow, this Lowe’s is located just few towns away from Mansfield and should, like Home Depot, be able to supply the need gardener with whatever’s on the list.

Aubuchon Foxboro
(2 Cocasset St, Foxboro, 508-543-2212)
Aubuchon’s is a chain, but it’s much more like the neighborhood hardware/garden supply store than the bigger chains like Home Depot of Lowes. Located right in Foxboro center, Aubuchon’s sells the normal slate of gardening supplies including shovels, hoes, rakes, smaller gardening implements, fertilizer, planters, and seeds.

Patrick Lyon’s Greenhouse

Taylor Rental
(379 Central St., 508-543-4441)
Located right near Lyon’s, Taylor Rental rents equipment to people who want to invest in a big gardening job, like clearing a block of yard for a vegetable garden, without also investing in say, their own root-tiller. It’s just like borrowing from your neighbor, except, you gotta pay the guy.
