    More than a plant shop. They have all kinds of local items you can purchase as gifts. They will also pot your plant and the container you choose. The major selling point of this shop is the area is in. You can stop by a plant, grab some coffee, and several different kinds of food. I must stop if you're in the west side. Guys, if you're looking for a unique gift for your lady... It's a slam dunk. A variety of things and the girls will help you pick out something that is sure to please.

    Fantastic!! What a cute little store on a familiar corner. Great selection of unique plants at a wonderful value. A helpful employee willing to transplant your purchase into a pot for you and answer any questions you may have. Add in a rewards system and I'm all about this store. I always say, a bad day is made better with a new plant.

    Gotta love a good plant shop. rOOTS KC offers a variety of plants, as well as planters and small gift items. Conveniently located in a spacious, airy corner shop at the intersection of Madison and W 17th, it makes it easy to stop in after grabbing a coffee or lunch across the street. Local and family owned, you've gotta check this place out next time you need some greens.

    I love supporting local plant shops, so I was excited to find Roots KC on my way to lunch. The shop offers a good variety of plants - easy care, pet safe, cactus, rare tropicals, and then some! There's also a great assortment of plant supplies and plant-related goods, making Roots KC a fun and unique experience.

    New place that's only been open about a month. Super friendly staff that's very helpful. A wonderful display of indoor tropical style plants that all have QR codes that tell you about them including pet friendly. This little shop will also replant it for you in a pot of your choice so it's ready to take home. Prices are a little moderate/high but worth it for the quality. If your an indoor plant lover it's a great place to stop and see. Oh btw the candles smell fantastic!

    The BEST plant shop in the KC area! Amazing customer service, dog friendly, and have a QR code on every single plant to help you succeed.

    First time for me at this location for their Spring Open House event, featuring European garden…read morevignettes. Every employee I spoke with was friendly, knowledgeable and helpful. They had so many beautiful flowers and plants it made me wish a) I was a green thumb and b) I had a space to keep all of them in! My favorite display was Greece because I'd lived there a while ago, so it was fun to see their concept. That said, though, I loved all of the gardens. They were well planned and fun to take a quick stroll through/around. As to pricing, I labeled this as moderate, but really I think it just depends on what plant, planter, garden art, etc., you're looking for--the prices seem reasonable to me. One lady there suggested I subscribe to their newsletter to find out about upcoming events. I definitely want to go again, if for nothing else than to walk down the paths to see the blooming flowers.

This spot has decent square footage, maybe similar in scope or a bit bigger on the inside than the Joco Suburban. There is a good variety of succulents and indoor plants to add to your collection. For me, the greenhouse is the best part - it's huge, and I love seeing all of the cacti they have available. I sometimes notice some religious undertones where which feels odd, but everyone is nice and it's a fun spot to spend a dreary day when you need a pick me up.

They had free cocktails all day and cinnamon rolls available for purchase. They even had a scavenger hunt which was such a nice touch!! like I still can't get over that idea??! so good!! You finish your scavenger hunt, you get a prize. And if you complete one of the harder scavenger hunt you get 10% off your purchase. Because of the holiday party they were already doing 20% tho. Everyone so sweet and kind. They guided us where to go for the scavenger hunt when it got hard! Everyone was friendly and assisted my friend on picking out a healthy plant. The cost of the plants were reasonable as well. I did not get a plant this time but my friend did and with the discount, I think it was well worth it. :)

If you want any kind of…read moregreenery ranging from vegetables to ornamentals to shrubbery, then this is the place for you. It also helps that there are approximately 160 million people working there on a given weekend, especially during planting season. Very helpful staff, an amazing array of flowering plants, as well as succulents and indoor selections. Pricing is fair and you can be sure that what you're getting has been well tended to, so even a fumbling green thumb like me isn't likely to kill it. Note that parking can be a challenge, but find a space and take in the peaceful atmosphere in the greenhouse. If you have the time, then check out the Koi pond in the far backspace of the perennial garden. Amazingly tranquil, these graceful carp seem to make everything OK.

However I have always had great people helping me and unfortunately did not get their names. I recommend all of them! This place has hundreds of beautiful plants for inside and outside. Trees, bushes, everything you can think of and they have seems like a couple of areas coffee bar and people can go in there and socialize or work on their laptops. So very relaxing feeling all over there. Myself, I find it impossible to go there without buying a plant or something. I bought this pretty little house plant today!
