Holdridge Consulting Review

Many items are extremely overpriced in Holdridge True Value when you compare these same items to Home Depot, Loews etc. Why throw your money away??? Example: An assembled wheelbarrow purchased from Home Depot was about 40 percent cheaper than Holdridge True Value Hardware. I do not agree with the phrase "true value" when it comes to Holdridge-- this is simply not true. Items are cheaper in larger stores, also service is more efficient.

Always so helpful! Thanks again for making my visit fun AND productive! I appreciate your incite on gardening products especially!

I bought a pack of masks a couple days ago only to find out that they come from China I hope I'm not the only person that has a problem with this...

Always a good place to shop--helpful, knowledgeable staff and beautiful seasonal plants. A little on the pricey side -- sales helpful if you are on a budget.

Holdridge's True Value is truly my Local Hardware Store! I was able to purchase everything I needed, for a painting project, all at one store...Thanks, Holdridges, for keeping Ledyard, & our surrounding area, supplied with all the Hardware, & Project Necessities, we can think of!

Excellent supply of indoor or outdoor plants, shrubs, herbs, vegetables, flowers .
Very knowledgeable staff to answer questions, give suggestions . Pretty good hardware section. Good array of statues and yard/garden ornaments.

Great place to get your gardening/planting supplies.

A True Value affiliate. Lots of gardening supplies, with plenty of organic options. Very friendly and helpful staff

Great place, the most helpful and friendly employees. Holdridge carries plants from CT farms, I bought some healthy and beautiful pots of blue salvia, bee balm and turtle heads for my hummingbird garden.

Exceptionally knowledgeable people and great customer service!

Fast and convenient place for hardware needs. Small town local business!!

Holdrige s has a great selection of plants including some you cannot find at the big box stores with competitive prices. However, customer service is not their forte.
On my last two visits I asked about specific plants. I was told they were down the end of the aisle on the left. Not an acceptable response. After wandering a few minutes I asked again I was told to look at the tag on the plant for information.
On my most recent visit, with no help from employees, a pleasant woman who witnessed my frustrating lack of help from employees was kind enough to help me find the plants I was looking for.
I have received better service at the big box stores. Which is where I will take my business from now on.

Friendly, informative staff. Great selection, competitive prices.

Great selection of organics, love the Alpaca Grow fertilizer. The staff is always pleasant and knowledgeable.

My favorite hardware store, I own Funway Bark up the road a ways and I'm there 2x a week looking for parts to make the building better, I always walk away happy.

Craig Nelson provided exceptional service on my Weber Grill. He ordered the replacement parts. Came to fit them on the day and time promised. My grill is running just like new.

Very nice store, all friendly and helpful. Large selection. Met Sherry the owner, very beautiful and sexy lady, great smile, nice to be around with knowlege on flowers was outstanding. I shop there a lot now and enjoy saying hi when I can.

Easily found cotton work gloves.
Is clean.

Great selection of products. They have a good variety of grills and accessories for them. They good variety of items for mom or dad or that special someone inside and outside. Plants are very well kept and loved. They have good selection of paints and other products for your home. They also have a cool water features for a water garden! They have a much better variety of items than big box stores. I will definitely shop here again!

Great service and plenty of plants to chose from with affordable prices.

Can't beat a lovely hardware store, especially this one.

I love it there! We have been to several events there and alway had fun
Friendly people always helpful.
The butterfly release was great. We also went to the Christmas event and loved it. Had food and drawings. It was beautiful.
Now my granddaughter is doing the gardening class. She received gloves and a apron. Today was strawberries and they got to bring them home. Next week is cucumbers and the last week the kids will decide what they would like.
I would absolutely recommend.

Such a nice staff and honestly what an amazing selection. I'm elated that I've found it so close by!

We absolutely love shopping here. The staff is always very helpful and knowledgeable.

I m a new resident of the New London area and someone suggested Holdridge to buy seeds. However my experience was wonderful and I left with a lot more than just seeds. From the moment you walk in you re greeted, which is a nice feeling. Tim, an employee of Holdridge had a lot of knowledge from which types of seeds to buy from which company, to sowing and germination to transplanting. He showed me different methods, suggested different types of products and explained to me the importance of each step along the way. I will always be returning to Holdridge to make my garden grow.

Wonderful people. Great prices. Outstanding sale currently

Always helpful! Always friendly!
Always willing to help. Excellent guarantee!

Your go to garden spot. Thanks to them my garden was OUTSTANDING!

Found beautiful opuntia plants for outdoors. Love Prickly Pear.

Great employees and a good selection of good products

Good selection. We were looking for gardening hand tools and Weber grilling items. Very clean and the debit card reader was wiped down between uses. Friendly staff. Highly recommend.

The staff here is wonderful. Also super convenient over going to one of the big box stores.

Love this hometown place! Great staff ready to help you find things in this well stocked store. Great stop for all your gardening needs.
