I started out at a big box store and was unsuccessful. I then ventured over to Armstrong, which I've been going to for 20+ years in general. The ground floor Customerservice staff was incredible. I brought in my schematic and showed them what I was looking for, and they pointed me into the right direction for some plants. Checking out was super easy. It's easy to get around with the carts. And Parking is directly right outside the Garden center. I returned the next day because I had only purchased one specific plant in the group of plants I purchased and unfortunately they were sold out. They were kind enough to do a special order for me and I'm excited for that to come in. If you think going to Armstrong might set you out of budget think again. Prices are comparable to the big box stores and smaller garden centers. I ended up ordering some stuff online from a separate plant supplier, but overall my experience in Armstrong was fantastic and I will come back. I was told that they offer a one year warranty on the plants I believe that's for the woody/deciduous so double check before you buy. They'll ask for your phone number to keep your purchases on file for this purpose or you can keep the receipt.

A cautionary tale: in our most recent visit, we were very disappointed in the service. A bit of…read morebackground is that six months ago we spent over $1500 on plants from them. They warranty their plants so when one of them died, we went in for replacement (it was one of 3 of the same variety). They didn't have the plant in stock so they said they would put in a special order. Many weeks later we'd heard nothing back so we went into the store. Dianne, a manager , admitted that they would not be able to get the special order. So we selected a replacement plant. The original plant cost $35 and the replacement plant we selected was only $25. But apparently they neglected to note in their system that the special order was to replace a plant under their warranty. So they charged us for the plant! Their mistake: they have lost a good customer over a plant that probably cost them $13 bucks. Their plants are more expensive and higher quality than the big box stores, but don't expect them to stand behind their warranty.

He took the time to answer all of our questions and made the experience really enjoyable -- thank you, Kai! This place is usually my go-to spot, and I genuinely love the vibe here.

While several team members were available indoors, they were unwilling to answer questions and directed us to find someone outside instead. After some searching, we finally found Kai. I understand that roles can be divided, but this felt different from the level of customer service I've experienced here in the past. Overall, still a place I enjoy -- and Kai's help truly made a difference for us

As you know bringing them out could spread problems like citrus greening disease or even pests to other healthy trees...So be cautious! Im happy that they had the tree so no problem to keep it aside till the shopping is done. Citrus pricing was great for example: 7 Gal was $79.99 plus tax and 15 Gal was $249.99. So great bargain. Inside, also is therapy...Gorgeous decoration and they were so selective about every piece they sell so it was an enjoyable shopping experience. Also, i love their return policy they have 1 year exchange or store policy and i attached it for review. I ended up buying lot of cute things that i didnt have plans to buy but its ended up another great selection to my little garden. There is also a big parking lot so no worries to find a place and YES its crowded bit you can manage it easily.
