    Please don't come here I want to buy all the things. This is the coolest shop I have found in a while and the staff was super cool. I will definitely be back soon and dragging all my friends along

    Stopped by this little gem on my way back to Texas. Really cute & imaginative gift shop! I loved all the plants & succlents, as well as the very original gifts! There was even a Halloween themed room that included skeletons having dinner! What a great way to merchandise your goods! The owners were great too! Funny & helpful! Stop by & check em out!

    I'd really like to live in this shop! Lots of fun stuff to browse, from candles, funny gifts and Knick knacks, to curiosities and vintage items. Definitely a spot for inspiration and an overall awesome place to waste some time and find a one of a kind item.

    How I got the plant. $1

    Such a cool shop! I love going to see what they have in stock. Remember this place isn't just a plant shop, they sell art and other cool things. Yes not all plants will be super nice and healthy, I was able to score a plant for $1 and revive it at home. Now it's such a huge plant and it makes me happy that i was able to score it for just a $1! As a plant mama, I enjoy trying to rehab plants. can't wait to see what new things they have!

    LOVE THIS PLACE! The owner and staffs were super friendly and this place has a good variety of plants. They even have a rare plant vault. They also sell super cute pots and other home goods. Before i left they even gave me some popsicles cuz the weather was so hot. Highly recommend!!

    Cute air succulent holder and spritz canister I got at A&A

    My husband and I attended a morning yoga class at the A&A shop. It was the epitome of a zenful Sunday morning! They have the shop set up like a greenhouse paradise w/ all kinds of creative gems in the mix. The shop owners had refreshments (and the cutest Frenchie puppy) for the attendees to enjoy afterwards. I perused​ the shop for lots of trinket gifts. The buyer does a good job of getting items you don't see in every other gift shop. Perfect for hostess gifts or stocking stuffers- just lil' "I'm thinking of you" gifts. They are lining up lots of arts & crafts type workshops in addition to their yoga offerings so I plan to be back soon!

    Awesome customer service here! I called over the morning of my discharge from Scripps La Jolla…read moresince SLJ had run out of rental pumps. I was a mess, recovering from a cesarean, had just spent 78 days in antepartum, had a baby in the NICU, hormonal, etc so just needed the process to go smoothly. And that it did! I called over and was assured that there were plenty of pumps in stock. When I arrived, the clerk greeted me right away. I asked about insurance, etc. and got everything squared away as far as payments. She let me vent to her a little about the day I was having and displayed so much empathy. She then carried the pump out to the car for me since I couldn't lift due to my c-section. When I called later to ask for more information for my insurance, she gave me very clear instructions on who I could call to get the information I needed. It was such a seamless process and I'm so happy to have gotten my pump in a timely manner.

    I've heard of this place for years and it was finally my turn to need it!…read more I couldn't wait to take my breast pump to New Beginnings for a "once over" and new tubes. The parking was easy (free if they validate). The store was small, but had all the essentials and the service was amazing. They offered some great advice about my pump and even looked over the other features to make sure all was in tip top shape! While I was looking around there was a new mother, in her hospital gown, being helped with finding a nursing bra. How cool is that! She just had a baby, her milk had come in, and she didn't have to change out of her hospital gown or leave the hospital to find a nursing bra. That's amazing service! Why every hospital doesn't offer this is beyond me! The sales ladies are so sweet and so helpful. This place is wonderful!

    I popped in to see what is available at Armstrong since I haven't been to one in many years and now…read moreI'm a homeowner. I met Kayla and she was nice enough to tour me around and discuss some of my options, even though she's a merchandiser and not a "plant expert". She was so helpful and so kind! The options here are so nice, very elevated from HD or Lowe's, and I found a few fruit trees I'll come back for when I'm ready to execute my vision.

    Upon arriving we were greeted by a gentleman name Andrew he was so kind and very knowledgeable…read moreabout organic and synthetic pesticides. He educated the hubby and I on how to minimize the grubs in my vegetable garden instead of totally eradicating them. He then educated on how to deal with pesky problems with ants and aphids. We walked away from that area feeling like we were more educated than when we came in and how we would deal with it moving forward using natural ingredients first. This being our first time here we decided to take a look around at the plants and trees and begin to have questions about the pomegranate trees in particular, as they were not in the area as the sign placed. Going to the front we had been standing there for a little bit while Andrew finished with a customer. Coming from the back, Gina approaches the cash register along side a client who was shopping as well who just happened to be finished shopping. She looks at my husband and I and says whichever one gets to you first but will be with you in just a moment and moves the lady in front of us. The lady that she decided to check out in front of us was a little older, so I excused it even though it did feel as if we were rudely overlooked. If Gina appropriately had acknowledge us being there first I wouldn't have said... "we have questions about an item in the back so if you could take care of her first that would be OK with us" but we weren't given the option but I let that go. So as soon as Andrew finishes up with his customer, we begin to discuss our inquiries about the pomegranate trees in the back and stated that we were having trouble locating them because the sign is possibly in the wrong place or maybe they were just out. So we asked, could he take us to the location so we could look together as there are so many trees and shrubs. Now, Gina is finished with her customer and is wandering around the cashier desk and he asked her could she assist us because he could not leave the cash register. She then taps her wrist looking at him and us and says I have to clock out..... what happened to her statement "which ever one of us finishes with you first will be with you right away... so he says can you stay here and watch the desk while I go take the customers to look for the item and she says sure..... Keep in mind... We arrived an hour and 15 minutes before closing so we have been here and still have half an hour until closing time. My husband and I felt very uncomfortable about the customer service as it felt like Gina was really cold and rude. She didn't appear to want to assist us anyway as her face and body language spoke a thousand words without apology. I really hope this was a fluke day for her as I would hate to think that she treats anyone this way representing Armstrong Garden. Andrew on the other hand is such a sweet guy, I told him we wouldn't take much of his time. He then said that the store made a mistake and that he would move the sign because they indeed were out of the taller pomegranate trees and was sorry and would move it to avoid confusion. He then showed us a section that had smaller pomegranate trees called "Wonderful" and a "Azadi" Persian Pomegranate tree that hadn't matured which was fine. We ended up buying both along with a grape vine. If it hadn't been for Andrew, I wouldn't have purchased from here just because the interaction and feeling we got from Gina was really rude.
