I only went in for a little bit(less than 8 minutes coz Hubby is hurrying me up. The staff are so friendly & helpful I saw sapodilla, mangoes, jujube, guavas, papayas, tamarind, and of course , mangoes right at the entrance. The prices are $$$ but what did you expect? It's not easy or quick to grow these amazing plants, trees-- otherwise we would all be doing it. I would love to visit when Hubby isn't hurrying me up

I picked out the two mango trees I came for. They didn't seem to take cards even though I called 30 minutes before I came and the person told me that they do accept cards as payment. The guy I was trying to pay barely spoke any English. No one there seemed to speak English so communication was extremely poor at best. Hopefully the consumer is well informed about what they are buying. I wouldn't come back.

She is such a friendly person, and told us she holds different classes on plants/arrangements. I will definitely be back to buy more plants, maybe take a class as well.

We will be back as we continue our garden project.

I would strongly caution anyone considering Lakewood Nursery…read more About a year ago, I purchased a large podocarpus tree from them for several hundred dollars and paid an additional couple hundred dollars for installation in the planter in front of my house. Not long after planting, the tree didn't seem to be developing properly, so I stopped by looking for advice. The experience was disappointing. The employee helping me appeared visibly intoxicated in the middle of the day (someone I believe is connected to ownership, as I had met him during the purchase). He was unhelpful and dismissive, so I left without any real guidance. I continued trying to care for the tree, but within two months it died. When I returned to ask whether there was any warranty, replacement option, or even assistance toward purchasing a new tree, I was met by a rude employee who immediately became defensive, repeatedly emphasizing that they are a "family-owned business" while offering zero accountability or solutions. Instead, I was blamed for the tree dying, despite the fact that I had already come in previously asking for help. For a business that sells and installs expensive trees, I expected at least some level of customer service, support, or professionalism. Instead, I got poor advice, no accountability, and an overall hostile experience. I'll be taking my business elsewhere and would recommend others do the same. Update: After digging up the dead tree, it was obvious why it failed. The root ball was extremely tight and root-bound, likely from sitting too long in the nursery box. It only had two mature roots supporting it, and both had been cut during removal and installation. They also didn't use fresh soil when planting it, which gave it little chance to establish. I went to another family-owned nursery afterward, and the difference was clear--they stood behind their product and offered a one-year warranty.

As I live in Northern California (Crockett), I tried Armstrong here hoping to score a plant. Talked w a guy who said that he was sold out of the particular plant, and I was sort of bummed, but accepted the fact that after trying another vendor, no luck would be on my side. After noodling around the store for other cool stuff, I get this "Hey!" and low and behold he found 2 Cousin It plants for me! I was surprised and happy he found them! He went out of his way to look for this particular plant and let me know that they had them! I went home happy and just stoked that this kind of customer service STILL existed in this world! Bringing home this plant back to Northern California was truly something as I had someone who cared enough to make my inquiry happen!!!

Wow!! What a gem of a place . Private parking lot …read more many varieties of plants for outdoor and indoor. Some selections of hard to find fruit trees blood oranges, purple guava , pomelo . Good selections of citrus fruit trees like finger lime, kaffir lime and lemon, lime trees. Woah !! The selections on vases are impressive, different sizes to every color imaginable. I was in the market for roses specifically a climbing variety, I only saw one yellow type. Maybe will stop by again to see if they stock more in the future. Besides the vast selection of supplies of garden furniture, plant food , vases and plants. I honestly think they need to also work on welcoming their customers. I encountered three different employees not one made an effort , a little acknowledgment with a hello , how can I help you, let me know what you need help with, Can go a long way.

What people say about the customer service is true, but personally I'm kind of used to it so it doesn't bother me much. There's one person running the show basically, and she seems very busy and sometimes comes off a bit abrasive. She also quotes and prices things on the spot. They have a lot of stuff and in my experience it's mostly pretty healthy. Decent sized seijus, oaks, and various jbps are why i come back. The pines have a tendency to come home with needle cast, but thats normal for crowded nursery settings. They also don't always label their cultivars. I was told a certain section was itoigawas, then that they were procumbens a few months later. In summary, if you're a beginner looking for an experience where someone patiently introduces you to bonsai this is DEFINITELY not the place. If you know what you're looking for, it's a decent place. I usually come prowl here for a bit when I'm visiting Chukigo-En, which I highly recommend.

"Ace is the place with the helpful hardware folks"…read more It's also the place for key duplication! Formerly the location of a Tuesday Morning, Ace Hardware now has a convenient location near me, in Lakewood. Prior, I had to drive a bit further into Long Beach to visit Ace. Needing to duplicate a house key, I remembered the new Ace location, so decided to check out the new store to accomplish my mission. Walking inside, I was immediately greeted, where I let them know my reason for visiting, and was quickly helped. The key cutting took about 5 minutes, costing only $6. While I was there, I noticed signage specifying Ace also cuts & programs car key fobs. I asked for an estimate, and was quoted $150. Wow! I recently had a mobile locksmith cut & program a new key fob for my vehicle, and I had paid $250. Granted, the convenience factor of having the locksmith show up at home & around 11 pm at night, the service should cost more. Knowing Ace can do the job and less costly to boot, I'll be heading to Ace when the need should arise. Ace Hardware's staff were friendly & hospitable, especially the gentleman handling the key duplication. Parking is via a shared lot, at the Vons Supermarket plaza. Ace is located on the left of Daiso. I am highly satisfied with my visit to Ace Hardware in Lakewood. I accomplished what I set out to do, didn't pay ridiculous prices, and have an option for car key fob cutting & programming, in the future. Also, Ace Hardware is not big & intimidating, compared to the big box hardware stores Home Depot & Lowes. I highly recommend Ace Hardware.
