I just started a garden with my little girl. I love living down the street from Armstrong. The minute I started looking at the big soil bags, a worker came by and asked me (even before I bought it) if I wanted some bags put in my car. very nice touch. this place always has a quick present for a house warming gift (a planted flower/orchid), all the way to all the seeds needed for a new veg garden. good service, tom is nice in front. good parking, and a very nice outdoor garden to choose flowers/plants/gnomes!
