Hi, I’m Trish, and I started a little nursery right here in my backyard.
I chose the name ‘Roots’ because (among other reasons) the nursery is located in the backyard of the home where I grew up.
We have one acre here in the western suburbs of Chicago. This was my father’s garden. Growing up, I’d watched him build and dig and sweat every summer. He left pieces of himself everywhere, I still even use the tiny greenhouse that he built 30 years ago.
I started growing annuals, flowering shrubs, and perennials in 2010 as a hobby, and am still growing! I’m excited to continually grow new varieties of plants, to experiment with soil and learn new regenerative farming methods that help heal the trouble with our climate.
The plants are loved through and through and I hope it shows.
From my backyard to yours!
Trisha
