Armstrong's is THE place in the OC for great (and not-the-norm) selections of plants and garden furnishings. Excellent selections of pottery, fertilizers and ground-friendly insecticides. The staff are welcoming and provide excellent advice, I wish I could take this nursery home to New York with me. Places like Armstrong's are the reason you support your local nursery, folks! Quality is king here. Prices are competitive, but you should expect to pay a little more for the expertise of staff who tell you how to plant, and what items are best suited to your space. We've visited the OC many times, and Armstrong's is always on the list for a stop.

I went in to buy some orchid bark for my pink princess philodendron and was helped by the amazing, Day. She was a very knowledgeable, patient and efficient salesperson. She went above and beyond~ wish all employees were this informative and pleasant. Can’t wait to treat my plants to their new soil and thermometer!
