About Roots Plant Co.

As so many others did when the world shut down, I turned to plants as a new hobby to pass the time; not knowing it would bloom into an all-out passion that continues to grow.

Why? Because plants make people happy! Dedicating time, effort, and love into growing something green connects you to nature in your own beautiful space, boosts mental health and confidence, and provides you with endless opportunities for learning and growth the deeper you dive into the enchanting world of plants. Plant care is self care!

Being a military family, we have moved around quite a bit and have never felt the immediate sense of welcome, warmth, and community like we do here in Elizabeth City. We can’t wait to cultivate new relationships as we share the love and spread the magic of houseplants throughout our sweet little town!

We welcome brand new plant parents, seasoned green thumbs, and everyone in between here at Roots. Let us help you find the perfect plant (or ten!) for your home, and let’s grow together!

Our Name

The name "Roots" for our plant shop is a tribute to the foundational concept of our business. It symbolizes the deep connection between plants and the Earth through their roots, which are the anchor and life source of every plant. Just like how a strong root system provides stability and nourishment to a plant, our shop aims to be the stable foundation for plant enthusiasts, beginner plant parents, and everyone in between; providing them with not only an amazing selection of beautiful plants, pots, and accessories, but also the knowledge and support they need to nurture their new green family members. 

Our vision is to help people establish their own "roots" in the incredible world of plants, fostering a sense of belonging and harmony with nature. We truly believe in the power of plants and the power in connecting to the Earth and hope to inspire others to embark on a journey of growth, both personally and botanically!
