Home Services reviews in Pasadena, California

Very well informed employees. Excellent classes on different topics from Roses to Bugs to Veggies. Good to sign up and get Rewards after several purchases and you get specials on Internet. 10% discount with Arboretum and/ or Huntington Gardens membership! Nice place to shop or browse.

I relocated from Boston a little over two years ago and missed the garden centers (like Mahoney's). I was super happy today when I discovered Armstrong's; it's got helpful staff, a full array of soil amendments, a great selection of indoor and outdoor plants, bird feeders, patio furniture, gifts and a great selection of indoor and outdoor pots at reasonable prices. Some of the house plants seemed over priced, but others were similar in price to big box stores. That being said, the plants that seemed expensive to me are ones I have had for about 10 years, and brought with me from the east coast. This is going to be my preferred local gardening center.

Armstrong is the garden place for the discriminating gardener. Complain about the prices all you want, but there isn't a place like it.

Where can you go to get knowledgeable advice on plants OR to be simply left alone to ponder the next garden project? Want to buy the best soil? The staff brings it to you and loads your car!

The hallmarks of a great place is that it makes you dream of ideas, and even though you might not be able to afford Armstrong, you can at least get inspired.

Great selection and prices. The staff is friendly and very helpful. Stopped to get some tomato plants and left with flowers, peppers plant, multiple tomato plants, and ladybugs. This is my new go-to location.

Great garden center - I'm sure they'll have what you need!

Beautiful plant nursery with tons of options for every kind of garden or amount of light for indoor plants. All their plants look so nice and healthy. Also the people that check you out are all so nice.

Best Retail Garden Store for a beautiful and quality plants year round. The employees are knowledgeable, nice and helpful. They also have one of the most extensive collection of large pots. The plants might not be the least expensive, but they are healthy and many of them come with a one year guarantee.

Super helpful staff. They always take the time to listen to my needs and explain the best options. Naomi and David are the best!!

This store has beautiful selection of plants. Manager Jesse, quite the opposite. We customers pay premium to shop at Armstrong compared to the Home Depot(although during pandemic, you notice Home Depot garden center's selections became beautiful, large and less expensive). With good return policy so the Armstrong says and lures you in to sign up in their system and you expect to find beautiful plants. BUT when it comes time your plants die, Armstrong does their best denying returns. I have experiences that few of employees were not-so-knowledgeable with identifying plants and just find similar ones on your purchase list and scan for return. Hence, when you return the actual plant, they will say it is already returned. And if you're unlucky to run into the manager Jesse, he will sigh and argue on returns without asking these sort of details from his employees and ask you literally 'WHY ARE YOU STILL HERE? CAN I WALK YOU OUT?' on customer's face. It's revolting to read his welcoming message on the website and offend the customers in person. We're all burned out from pandemic and do not need to experience these. We visit nurseries to bring plants home to heal our souls and nurture them in return, not to get yelled at.

My girl and I really love this place, so relaxing, peaceful, recently we have been going every weekend. they have great variety of plants, and very rare plants, indoor and outdoor plants. Staff are super helpful, knowledge, friendly and always happy to help you with a smile on their face if anyone feels like decorating the house this is the place to go, we highly recommend it

This is our fourth time to this Armstrong Location is Pasadena. We truly appreciate the knowledge the employees share with you when shopping for products and answer your questions. They are very helpful, always asking the customer if they need any help, we enjoy their customer service.

Plants look well taking care of. There are nice accessories for indoor & outdoor living. People there are nice, friendly and knowledgeable. Will definitely go back to visit and buy.

A nice selection of plants and garden gear but the staff is not helpful and prefer to talk amongst themselves vs. helping customers. Two walked by me in an aisle and nearly bumped into me. I did not feel welcomed or helped there.

Excellent service, friendly, knowledgeable, and just a beautiful place to spend time (hours for me).

This nursery has everything. I found several odd plants that I couldn't find elsewhere. All the plants are healthy and in good shape, unlike the box stores. The staff are friendly and knowledgeable. A great place to shop for garden needs!

Visited today and it's still just great! Knowledgeable staff and excellent quality plants. You won't be disappointed!

Return visit today. It's pricey, but worth it. Excellent quality plants and products, staff that takes care of them, and knowledge they can provide for your purchases. You get what you pay for!

Simply love this place. Wish I could buy the whole thing!

I was able to geta mimosa (sensitive plant) and worms for composting! They usually have a good selection of indoor and outdoor plants. Their fruit trees are great too!

Plants for every season. Great staff and fun place to learn about plants you purchase. Bring your kids!

Such a serene garden & plant shop. Its backyard is always filled with healthy plants and rare finds. They always have ladybugs & worms in the summer. And the kids’ garden class was also fun.

Staffs are very knowledgeable and friendly! Their MaidenHair Fern looks so green and rich, and I couldn’t helping buying them home couple times, however they always get killed by my poor gardening skills, so I eventually gave up. This is just sad:/

Getting in and out with ease was a easy process with the help of the knowledgeable crew memebers.
