“Great experience. Heidi was extremely helpful when I needed to get a new key copy. She was able to be supportive and to assist us until another worker came to make the key. Heidi and her kindness truly saved the day.”
“My husband and I just moved to California from the Northeast where the climate and foliage is quite different.
The staff has been very helpful guiding us to know which plants and soils will work for the garden we started at our new home!
Also, we found the staff to be very friendly and informative!”
“Great outdoor dining environment! Even though it is a large area, tables feel private. It is a great place to celebrate a birthday or just have lunch after purchasing garden plants.”
“Purchased a pomegranate sapling and small blackberry shrub about a year and a half ago. The pomegranate sapling is doing very well and the blackberry shrub has exploded with growth. They have great thornless varieties and the fruit is very sweet.”
“Armstrong Garden Centers is hands down my favorite place to shop for anything plant-related. The staff is always welcoming and incredibly knowledgeable—they’ve helped me pick out everything from drought-tolerant perennials to indoor succulents that even I can keep alive.
The selection is amazing. Whether you're looking for seasonal flowers, vegetable seedlings, or mature trees, they always have high-quality, healthy plants in stock. I also appreciate their selection of pottery, garden tools, and organic fertilizers—it’s basically a one-stop shop for gardeners of all levels.
What really sets Armstrong apart, though, is their customer service. They take the time to answer questions, make great recommendations, and offer planting tips that go beyond what you’d find on a tag or online.
Plus, the store layout is beautiful and easy to navigate, making every visit a peaceful and inspiring experience. I always leave feeling excited to get my hands in the dirt. Highly recommend for both beginner and experienced gardeners!”
“Live plants, potatoes, rose, berries, seed packets by Botanical Interests and also some other brands of seed, also flower bulbs, a very nice tools and equipment section for the patio gardener and suburban farm enthusiast ;)”
“Loved the ambience and the sales associate Brenda was such an angel! We went in store looking for a philodendron/vine-y plant and a nice pot to give as a gift and spent a long time deliberating—must have spent over an hour in the store. Nearly that whole time Brenda was helping us make a decision or offering plant care advice and presenting us with new options! Have never met someone so patient and knowledgeable. We left beyond satisfied with our purchase (pot + plant) which she also potted for us in-store!!
I usually never write reviews but thought she totally deserved a shoutout for her amazing attitude towards not only us but other customers and her team as well :) just the sweetest person you’ve ever met and worked hard to make sure we had a good experience in-store.”
“I just had the best customer service experience and had to give a huge shoutout to Brian! His level of service is beyond impressive and truly stands out—something you won’t find in 99% of stores. He went above and beyond: he offered to clean the saucer I was buying, gave me a discount because it had a small chip, and even used a Sharpie to cover it up! Brilliant move. He suggested I could touch it up with black nail polish if I had some, offered paper to wrap it in, and even delivered it to my car! Talk about exceptional service. A massive thank you to Brian for making my day!”
“Love this place. It is never the same constantly new stock and goodies in store. Great deals!! The staff also is very friendly welcoming and very much entertaining.”
“Hidden gem with a few harder to find nano fish and massive selection of plants, both aquatic and house / terrariums. They sell UNS tanks, repashy, and my favorite fish--corydoras! Friendly people and fun to walk the massive greenhouse.

“If you do DIY projects every so often but don't want to spend a ton on tools or supplies, Harbor Freight is the best option.
This particular location is always well stocked and very easy to find items. If you need help, every associate I have spoken to is extremely helpful and friendly.
The store is kept neat and tidy and everything is clearly marked, which makes finding stuff very convenient.
If you do plan on buying items, definitely look at their online mailer. The coupons they offer make the inexpensive tools and supplies even cheaper, which is crazy!
As I said earlier, if you are the occasional DIY'er, the quality of the tools and supplies will be more than sufficient to use. It might not be the highest quality but for the majority of novice and intermediate users, you really can't go wrong with any of their products. And for the price, I'll skip the name brands and go with Harbor Freight.”
“This place is very amazing and unique!! I am fourtunate to know this place 20 years ago and l visit and shop a least once a year. l want to visit more often and take the great privilege to buy their products and enjoy this little paradise. The talented and creative owners have done great work with this nursery. l want everybody to know about it and enjoy this amazing place!!!

“Went searching for a specific plant, Savila and the nurseries had nothing healthy. We not only doing what we were looking for but helped by a friendly, knowledgeable guy. His grandfather was original owner. Thanks for the experience, we will be back.”
“I had trouble with my Husqvarna 450 Rancher chainsaw brake. I disassembled the brake assembly and tried to fix it myself but there was no way. I looked up four shops within 10 miles from home and set out to see who could help me out. So glad B&M was my first stop. Saturday just before closing time Joe took the assembly I brought in and tried for 15 minutes to get it working but there was a strong compression spring that obviously needed a factory tool to compress, line up and install. We looked on the web site and found they only sell the entire assembly which confirmed Joe's thought that it needed to be assembled at the factory. We ordered the parts and the estimate he gave me for the assembly was extremely fair. His employees had locked up and gone home but he stayed and finished up with me. His son even stayed around and chatted. They were both genuine people. The store was well stocked, clean and organized with everything a pro or homeowner like me could ever need. This place is benchmark for how to run a business.”

“Excellent experience all around! Phone calls with all questions answered politely, ordering process was simple, delivery arrived ON TIME and driver was friendly, professional, and placed the two different mixes with care on our driveway. It was impressive to watch! I know this is great material because my mom's garden flourishes with it, I'm excited to begin my own.”
“Went there with my mom looking for paint and BRODY without hesitation help me and my mom even though my mom's English was very broken. He was very professional understanding we come in for one thing and we ended up buying more paint do to his professionalm . We ended up buying 2 5 gallons and other tolls, he's truly a gem fir this company”
“Came to this nursery Nitao in Orange to pick out some roses for my wife. They have a lot of beautiful type of roses to pick from. Came away with Bolero, Savannah, and Monaco. I very nice lady helps me pick the colors and the flagrant. I drove home with six containers. The price is very good compared to other nurseries and Homedepot.”
“This Home Depot on N Tustin Street in Orange has a well-organized store and a really nice garden section. The employees were friendly and knowledgeable, and it was easy to find what I needed. I picked up several plants, including some colorful flowering plants and succulents, and they had a good selection at fair prices. Overall, it was a smooth shopping experience, and I would come back for future home and garden projects.”

“Jonathan provided extraordinary customer service. He helped me find the exact vinyl blinds I was looking for and made it an even better customer experience by cutting the blinds to the exact size I needed them! He was very patient and professional. And he even showed me where to find my other items!! God bless you Jonathan.”
“We had a group event of 30 guests planned to come and celebrate my sister’s 50th birthday. The sun catcher workshop was unique, relaxing and creative. It is held on an outdoor patio. The tables and materials were organized and ready to go upon arrival. Beth is a patient, communicative, and supportive teacher! Any time I had questions leading up to the event, she was quick to respond. She was very accommodating. Everyone said they really enjoyed it! Beth gave step by step directions. The product came out beautifully! Only 25 guests were able to make it so Beth gave us 5 take home kits. The cost was very reasonable. Parking can be tricky with large groups, but everyone found a space. I highly recommend doing this with a friend or as a group event! You will not be disappointed! It is totally worth it! Thank you for everything, Beth!”
“Okay I am just going to say they are really nice people here who are hard working. I'm not sure if it was the owner or what but him smashing into the wall with his truck. Idk just thought I leave this here”
“Nice, big healthy bamboo delivered on time by a very knowledgeable gardener named Beto. Service from start to finish could not have been easier. Enjoyed a fantastic Fourth of July on my patio with friends surrounded by beautiful green bamboo that provided the perfect privacy screen! YAY!!!”
“I’ve been buying plants from this store every year for the past five years, and I’m always impressed by their great selection and excellent quality. The prices are fair, and the customer service is outstanding—both in-store and over the phone. After purchasing, they took the time to answer all my questions about planting, maintenance, fertilizing, and proper care. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for healthy plants and knowledgeable, helpful staff! Gracias señora Leticia!”
“The dude working the Xmas Tree Lot with the epic handlebar mustache was such a peach!! Let me have the Christmas Tree lower branch trimmings they'd neatly collected in a basket. I upcycled all that lovely greenery, giving it new life in the form of a wreath! Many tree lots (and basically every company in general these days!) want to nickel and dime every person for every last cent and will charge for these cuttings; others will waste this small but precious resource just tossing these beauties in the garbage. Not everyone has the time or skill to custom make a wreath and would prefer to buy a wreath ready made for them. Home Depot and I happily fit into the middle of this: no wasted tree trimmings, no ridiculous up charging, no need to buy some mass produced wreath, just a lovely day spent outside making something cool out of something saved from the landfill which I hadn't needed to pay for and feeling grateful! Thank you handle bar mustache guy at Home Depot!”
“I just love Armstrong Nursery during the holidays! And I was so glad I was able to sign up for their fall make and take class! We made a beautiful mini pumpkin with succulents. They had plenty of supplies and the instructors were all so nice and helpful! I need to be sure to keep my eye out for more classes. They were also so kind to have Starbucks coffee on hand for us!
Once I finished with my class, my hubby and I walked around and enjoyed looking at all the beautiful plants and pottery!”
