I met Kayla and she was nice enough to tour me around and discuss some of my options, even though she's a merchandiser and not a "plant expert". She was so helpful and so kind! The options here are so nice, very elevated from HD or Lowe's, and I found a few fruit trees I'll come back for when I'm ready to execute my vision.

Upon arriving we were greeted by a gentleman name Andrew he was so kind and very knowledgeable…read moreabout organic and synthetic pesticides. He educated the hubby and I on how to minimize the grubs in my vegetable garden instead of totally eradicating them. He then educated on how to deal with pesky problems with ants and aphids. We walked away from that area feeling like we were more educated than when we came in and how we would deal with it moving forward using natural ingredients first. This being our first time here we decided to take a look around at the plants and trees and begin to have questions about the pomegranate trees in particular, as they were not in the area as the sign placed. Going to the front we had been standing there for a little bit while Andrew finished with a customer. Coming from the back, Gina approaches the cash register along side a client who was shopping as well who just happened to be finished shopping. She looks at my husband and I and says whichever one gets to you first but will be with you in just a moment and moves the lady in front of us. The lady that she decided to check out in front of us was a little older, so I excused it even though it did feel as if we were rudely overlooked. If Gina appropriately had acknowledge us being there first I wouldn't have said... "we have questions about an item in the back so if you could take care of her first that would be OK with us" but we weren't given the option but I let that go. So as soon as Andrew finishes up with his customer, we begin to discuss our inquiries about the pomegranate trees in the back and stated that we were having trouble locating them because the sign is possibly in the wrong place or maybe they were just out. So we asked, could he take us to the location so we could look together as there are so many trees and shrubs. Now, Gina is finished with her customer and is wandering around the cashier desk and he asked her could she assist us because he could not leave the cash register. She then taps her wrist looking at him and us and says I have to clock out..... what happened to her statement "which ever one of us finishes with you first will be with you right away... so he says can you stay here and watch the desk while I go take the customers to look for the item and she says sure..... Keep in mind... We arrived an hour and 15 minutes before closing so we have been here and still have half an hour until closing time. My husband and I felt very uncomfortable about the customer service as it felt like Gina was really cold and rude. She didn't appear to want to assist us anyway as her face and body language spoke a thousand words without apology. I really hope this was a fluke day for her as I would hate to think that she treats anyone this way representing Armstrong Garden. Andrew on the other hand is such a sweet guy, I told him we wouldn't take much of his time. He then said that the store made a mistake and that he would move the sign because they indeed were out of the taller pomegranate trees and was sorry and would move it to avoid confusion. He then showed us a section that had smaller pomegranate trees called "Wonderful" and a "Azadi" Persian Pomegranate tree that hadn't matured which was fine. We ended up buying both along with a grape vine. If it hadn't been for Andrew, I wouldn't have purchased from here just because the interaction and feeling we got from Gina was really rude.

DELIVERY SERVICE (3.4 Stars)…read more A new stove and fridge was ordered with different delivery dates. My stove came in and was of course given a window from 9:30 - 1:30 and they came around 11:30. The guys were super nice and did the job quickly. They came in, took the old stove out, and brought in the new stove. IT WAS LOUD and scared my new puppy. I noticed while they wheeled away the old stove, parts of the top of the stove fell out and they don't bother to pick up the pieces even after walking by them many times. They brought in the new one and well I have hardwood floors and questioned "is that scratching my floors" as they push it around the kitchen and they told me no.

It was one of the first stores I…read morelearned about when I went to the very first Adams Avenue Spirit Stroll, which is a local, annual sip and shop event. I then went back to do a little holiday shopping, and have been back many times since. I am also happy that the shop continues to host a spirt stop on the stroll. Kiko + Sven is a tiny shop with a lot of cute items. Some appear handmade and other are just cute or unique. They probably have more jewelry than anything. It is mostly dainty gold and silver, some with long beads and some made from clay. They have a back wall that is full of greeting cards, and a section of toddler and baby items. There are usually quite a few candles and soaps, and a small amount of cocktail/cooking supplies. All of it calls out to me... and makes me want to spend money. They also have a rack of clothing in the shop, and usually a sale rack outside. I have bought a couple of tops and a cute shawl there in the past, but since the selection is so small, I often don't find any clothing that either is my size or style. I think it is a great shop to browse and find something unecspected. As it is very small, the times I went looking for something more specific for gifts, it has been a bit hit or miss. Their stock varies over time and you may or may not luck out. All in all, if you are shopping or eating on Adams, go check it out. It's really fun to browse and you may find something you like. Also, they will make you an account so you can put your phone number in for discounts without any coupons or solicitaitons.

So many cute food-themed goodies sourced from local artists and makers. Also loved the floral pieces they had out from Best Bud as well! Very unique and intentionally pieced together. As I was perusing around, I noticed they had a ton of community offerings- some were regular and others were special workshops and pop-ups. They regularly get bread deliveries from local bakers- I overheard multiple people stopping by asking if they had any fresh bread. They also host super interesting workshops that range from arts and crafts to cooking and dancing. The longer I wandered around the space, the more I felt that this was way more than a shop, it was a budding community that was SO fun, SO colorful, and SO vibrant. Will definitely be making it a point to pop into one of their workshops soon :)

I worked with Henry whom I believe is the owner. Henry was reasonable & willing to work with my budget. Negotiating is not as common here. It's basically the price you see is the price you'll pay.

Prices are within range for what he's selling. Just wish they were a bit more budget friendly! I have no issues with the mattress for the lifetime that I've had it. Parking sucks!
