my Walmart and those around me do not look like that. No. The
Walmarts located here just aren't like that. Sometimes in the hot
Spring the plants in the garden center look pretty wilted. And you
can notice when they are shifting over from the Christmas season
trees, bulbs, etc., to fertilizers, pots and seeds, BBQ grills and
charcoal.
