They call me Crazy Plant Guy because everywhere I go, I will visit local nurseries and grab some local varieties. This place has a lot of them and I'm happy that those guys are around. Super helpful service too.

My wife and I have been coming to this Armstrong's in Del Mar for years. Admittedly, it's the knowledge, courtesy and service level that keeps us coming back. Today, I called with a simple issue of a pest (trail cam indicates a rat) destroying plants in our raised-bed garden. Michelle answered the phone and walked me thru my options. I visited the store and Tracie assisted me - then both ladies talked to me about the solution for our garden and were just very pleasant. It seems rare anymore to experience this level of service - it is a real differentiator. Thanks to all there.

I've been here twice now and the customer service is unparalleled. Both times I was found by an employee wandering the aisles and was asked in a very friendly if I needed guidance. Today I was looking for a gift for a friend who loves indoor plants but I was concerned with getting one safe around cats. The employee Melissa took great care to assess the environment the plant would be in and made recommendations from there. I was given advice on potting, watering, and what to do if the plant doesn't thrive. The only difficult part of visiting this nursery is deciding between the gorgeous plants everywhere! Only nursery I will ever go to!
