Armstrong Garden Center
Posted by: The Backyard Getaway / Category: gardening, landscaping, nursery, plants
One of my favorite nurseries has to be Armstrong Garden Center. With their wide selection of everything from plants to fountains, you will be able to find anything you need for your landscape. I went to my local store yesterday to see whats growing and whats popular with the do it yourself gardeners out there.
Instantly I noticed that the annuals were in full bloom, which is an inexpensive way to quickly beautify your yard and add tons of color at the same time. Also if your just looking to fill in some spots in your garden, these plants would be a good way to do it.
After talking to the staff at Armstrong they let me know that now is the time to plant your vegetable garden, and that it is one of their most popular items right now. Here you can find everything from Tomatoes to herbs such as cilantro and basil.
If your looking to go green and save water in your yard, the Armstrong Garden Center has you covered. They have a large selection of drought tolerant plants like the succulents shown here, and the staff will let you know what you should when planting and caring for these types of plants.
A couple outdoor living displays were also set up by Pacific Outdoor Living and Monrovia which gave me a couple good ideas on what can be done in the backyard. Both displays showed a good examples on how fountains and ponds can really change your yard.
In all, the Armstrong Garden Center really is a one stop shop for your landscaping needs. The knowledgeable staff are always willing to help you, and will go as far as being your personal shopper and where you can use their expertise to help you choose plants. Or if you would rather learn how to care for your yard, they also offer classes to teach you what to do.
