This place is amazing. I love plants but am a bit of a plant serial killer. I can't tell you how many lovely green friends I've gone through throughout the years. I try, but I fail. I really put my best effort but always tend to over love them. I found Wild Roots and immediately fell in love with the place. I spoke to the girl who immediately greeted me. Told her about my love of plants and my murderous ways and she graciously walked me through the plants she thought I'd be good with. She took her time and made sure I had a good understanding on the watering needs as well as the sun desires of these lovely things So I took my time, walked around, and found 1 plant to call my own. I could have bought an entire forest worth but I wanted to make sure I was able to take care of the one I had before I slaughtered their entire inventory. So far so good my plant is still alive. I've been listening to the advice I was given and I can't wait to go back and something else to add to my apartment to make my home feel even more green. read more

There's a wide variety of plants and the staff are super informative. I originally went in to get some supplies for repotting my alocasia frydek and saw a few plants that I may have to return to get! It looked like they had some pottery from local artists as well. Great way to shop local and get expert knowledge/recommendations! read more

Secret is out....I am WILD about you, Wild Roots. I love trips to see you because the shop is so inviting, it's like a little wonderland and it keeps me endlessly entertained. I am a sucker for a succulent and find yours to always be healthy and poppin. I have found so many wonderful gifts for people (and yes, okay myself) from you. In fact I just burned through my last soy candle, so it looks like I will be seeing you very very soon. Thank you for keeping your inventory so unique and LOCAL. You are one of the cutest spots in Downtown St. Pete, I truly wish I could move in. Are you looking for a roommate? #ThankYouThursday read more

Very cool store and great selection! I was looking for a plant for a housewarming gift and had no clue what to buy. Abby was so helpful! She gave me options based on level of care of the plant would require, amount of light, etc. Once I picked out the plant and the pot, she even potted it for me and provided care instructions. I was visiting from out of town, but I hope I have the opportunity to shop here again. I will definitely recommend wild roots to my St. Pete friends! read more

I was looking forward to going here for a large indoor plant for my new apartment. No one greeted me or asked me if I needed help. I picked out a plant and took it to the counter and asked about pots for it. The young woman would not even get up to show me what might work and just pointed around the store. When I said I would just get one somewhere else, she was fine with that. I got no information about caring for my new plant and no customer service. Very sad. read more
