I came in on a whim, looking for a swiss cheese plant, and the guy working enthusiastically showed me several different sizes. I knew I wanted something small, and he had exactly what I'd hoped to find. There's a lot going on in this little space; every plant I saw was absolutely gorgeous. When I went to pay, he gave me a bunch of tips on how to care for it, and was untangling leaves while he spoke to me. I could tell he loves what he does! Overall, it was a bit pricey, but I do like supporting small businesses and I am pleased with my purchase. I will definitely return. Pros: - friendly, informative customer service - healthy plants - gorgeous ambience Cons: - parking not great - a bit pricey - not a nursery or garden anymore; just a shop

Bizarre experience! I used to like this place - though the…read moreprices are high, they have a large selection, and staff were generally friendly. Not today. When arriving, I went to the restroom to pee (I am 67 and have prostate issues, and just wanted to be comfortable while I shopped) and, seeing a sign on both the outside and inside that said "Please keep the door shut - because of A/C" and seeing a lock, I locked the door for privacy (too). There is just urinal and one stall. When I was standing at the urinal there was suddenly the loudest banging on a door I'd ever heard in my life. I thought it must be some kind of emergency so I went, holding my pants up, since I didn't have time to zip them. I opened it, and said "What's up?!" and the young man with dark green Green Thumb shirt - heavyset, brown hair, 30/40-ish? - said very aggressively, yelling, "It's a public restroom, that's why theres more than one stall !!!" and proceeded to wash in the sink for 5 minutes or so (I retreated to the stall to try and finish my business). So... because there' a urinal and a stall you are not supposed to lock it? Why is there a lock? I don't get it... He must have either been having a very very bad day, was mentally unbalanced, or just a ver very angry person. I was in shock. I think it's time to find another nursery...

Great selection for less common plants. Health plants, good prices, quality plants and goods…read more Good customer service. There are knowledable staff on site to assist with questions or purchases. Convenient potting media purchase. Pay the register, drive around to the loading zone and they load the bags into your car for you. I love to come here during bareroot season (Jan-March). They carry a huge variety of tree, berries, grapes, and although the plants cost more than your big box store but there is a huge difference in quality. Large selection of roses in late May, early June. It's fun to shop here. Some of the nursery has uneven ground or loose gravel so be mindful. Make sure to subscribe to their email newsletter for monthlh coupons (as well as garden knowledge and recipes).

The location is very convenient with plenty of parking spaces in the private lot. The garden center is one of the larger Armstrongs I've been to.

However, the prices aren't the cheapest - I've seen better at other nurseries in the Carlsbad area.
