Loved our experience. Paris is the best!!!! She’s an incredible teacher.
My friend an I attended a ‘make and take’ wreath class 11/22. Each table had 4 seats and a wreath at each spot. One table had ribbon, a different table had a few pinecones, we had 3 or 4 tiny red and white balls attached to wires and about 6 pinecones the size of sm fingernails. Apologies from the workers who said they didn’t have enough supplies and suggested we write a review.
So disappointed. We left after 30 min and stopped by Micheal’s. Absolutely the cheapest set up from a store where so much more should have been done for $50.
Hi Kathryn,

Your comments are being shared with our team so we can ensure this doesn’t happen again. We will also be reaching out to you directly. Thank you again for your feedback, and we hope to have the opportunity to provide you with a much better experience in the future. - Armstrong Garden Centers
I encouraged 3 of my friends to join me for this class. We were pretty much given a wreath. We found ourselves scavenging for stuff to use to decorate the wreath. The staff was helpful but did not give any kind of instructions. Luckily we are teachers and are use to creating something out of nothing. One group brought their own supplies. We were promised dried fruits and nuts. There were a few dried oranges and no nuts. We have decided to have our own wreath decorating party next year. 3 stars because the staff tried. I love Armstrong but this was not worth getting up early on a Saturday.
Hi there,
Thank you for sharing your experience with us. We are truly sorry to hear that the Make & Take class at our Long Beach location did not meet expectations, especially after you encouraged friends to join. We appreciate you bringing the supply shortage and lack of instruction to our attention. This is not the experience we work to provide. While we are glad to hear our team was helpful, we understand how disappointing it was to feel unprepared and undersupplied during the class. We are addressing this with the store to ensure future events are better stocked and supported. We genuinely appreciate your loyalty to Armstrong and the time you took to leave this feedback, and we will also be reaching out to you directly. - Armstrong Garden Centers
