You should wander around the area and look at every single product, so you're familiar with what's available for sale. Look at prices, too. This will make you more knowledgeable about the stock, when customers ask you questions. If you don't have time to do this during work, do it before or after your shift. Get a book about plants (libraries have them), and learn about which ones grow well in the sun and which are better in shade. Also learn which ones require a lot of water vs. less water. Learn when different plants flower or bear fruit. Find out which ones need denser soil vs. lighter soil. You also need to learn how big various plants get (how tall, how much they spread). Also -- are they annuals or perennials? These are things people really want to know, and it's really not hard to learn them, if you're interested in the subject. Make sure you understand what all the gardening tools do, and which ones are best for which task. Ask the other sales associates about how they handle customer questions. Also ask them which plants, mulches, gardening tools, etc., get returned most often. You'll want to know what NOT to recommend to people.
