Inspection Details

Record the date and time the opening inspection was completed.
Enter the inspector's name, shift lead, or role responsible for the walk-through.
Confirm the opening walk-through included all active customer and plant care areas.

Live Plant Condition

Check for obvious plant decline such as wilted foliage, collapsed stems, severe leaf drop, or heat/cold stress.
Verify distressed plants are identified and moved to a designated recovery, markdown, or disposal area.
Document any visible insect damage, fungal spotting, mildew, or other plant health concerns.
Ensure fallen plants, broken containers, and loose debris are removed from customer paths and work areas.

Watering and Moisture Needs

Confirm dry benches, hanging baskets, and container stock are identified for immediate watering.
Verify hoses, nozzles, watering wands, timers, or irrigation zones are ready for use and not leaking or blocked.
Rate the overall moisture condition of high-priority plant areas.
Check for puddles, overspray, or drainage issues that could create slip hazards or plant damage.

Fertilizer and Chemical Storage Compliance

Verify fertilizers, pesticides, herbicides, and related chemicals remain in the approved storage location.
Check that containers are sealed, legible, and free from leaks, bulging, corrosion, or damaged packaging.
Confirm SDS access and hazard communication information are available to employees handling chemicals.
Verify restricted access, proper segregation, and no incompatible materials stored together.

Signage and Pricing Accuracy

Check that plant names, variety labels, and prices match the displayed product and are easy for customers to read.
Verify sale signs, bundle offers, and seasonal promotions are current and not expired or misleading.
Confirm exit routes, restricted areas, and hazard notices are visible and not blocked by displays or stock.

Seasonal Display Setup and Housekeeping

Check that seasonal displays are upright, secure, and arranged according to merchandising plan.
Verify aisles are free of soil, leaves, broken pots, carts, hoses, and other trip hazards.
Record any deficiencies found, the corrective action taken, and who was notified.
