  31. latincupon

    • Amber (Hip Sidekick)

      GREAT! Thanks for the tip!

  32. Eli

    Finally got it to go.
    Says registration is closed.
    And it shows when to sign up for the rest of the months.

    • Amber (Hip Sidekick)

      Hmm, I wonder if this varies by store. I was just finally able to sign up at my location.

  33. CindyS

    I was able to register but had to do it on my phone using Safari.

    • Amber (Hip Sidekick)

      Thanks for letting us know how it worked for you!

  34. Couponanimal

    Just registered! So excited to do this with my daughter!

  35. Nae17

    It just opened back up for me and I was able to register!

  36. SL

    My location says ‘we’ve reached maximum capacity for this event.’

    • Amber (Hip Sidekick)

      Sorry to hear that!

  37. jessie

    Just got registered! Keep trying

  38. Impactbrianna

    Got one!

  39. Alamode

    I wasn’t signed into my account and kept hitting refresh. Then, I realized my store was set to Sterling, VA and not near me, so I changed my location. This changed my results from “Ooops! We’re working on it” to “Registration closed.” Fortunately, I live within 20mins of 10 different locations. I chose my next closest location and had success. If you have more than 1 local store, try changing them to see if any one has an opening. Here’s what it said was included: Miracle-Gro Planting Kit

    Start a garden right in your own backyard. We’ll provide everything, including a Lowe’s blue bucket filled with Miracle-Gro Potting Mix and Miracle-Gro All-Purpose Water-Soluable Plant Food, a Bonnie Foodie Fresh plant, gloves and recipe cards. Pick up your free kit curbside, 5-7 p.m.

    • Amber (Hip Sidekick)

      Thanks a bunch for he helpful feedback!

  40. cheryl

    Just got on! Finally!

  41. acgold

    It says registration closed!

    • Amber (Hip Sidekick)

      DARN! Do you have another nearby location you might be able to register for?

  42. spike

    I just got registered! I think it depends on the store!

    • Alamode

      Definitely does! If you get the “registration closed” message, try changing your store to another local location in the upper left corner. I feel sorry for those without multiple choices. :-/

  43. Debbi

    well that was quick. Really not worth all the hassel.

  44. PrincessMom

    Thanks for posting!

    If you have more than one Lowe’s near you, try checking all of them. We have several of them between home and work and I finally found one that still had kits available along my route home from work!

    • Amber (Hip Sidekick)

      You’re welcome! Thanks a bunch for the helpful tip! SO glad you could register!

    • v

      Thanks for the suggestion. The closest Lowe’s was closed, but just a little further I was able to register.

  45. Natalie

    I just registered with no problems.

  46. Megan

    Really hoping those that got through today let others have a chance the following weeks! Mine went straight from error to registration closed. I really want to do next week’s because my kids will love it!

  47. Dee Reichardt

    Well by the time it started working the registration was closed for that one. I’ll try again next week for the following weeks. boo.

  48. Melody Miller

    Forgot it. Every lowes within 40 miles of me is registration closed.

  49. Nikki Adams

    I tried all morning, refreshing from my phone and my computer. Finally gave up and now it says “Registration Closed”. Super Frustrating. 🙁

    • Amber (Hip Sidekick)

      Hi Nikki! Maybe check to see if there is another nearby location that you can register at. Hope this helps!

  50. Christy M.

    It appears to be working now! I was just able to sign up!
