At Root + Hive, we believe in fostering a community of independent growers who work together to create something truly special. Our growers operate on their own schedules and terms, which makes us different from your average nursery business. We strive for diversity, uniqueness, and collaboration, and we're proud to offer a growing community unlike any other. We like to think of ourselves as a growing community.
Following our Spring Sale in May, we are usually open 10am -3pm every Saturday and Sunday following until the end of July.
Thank you for choosing our small, local business! Your support is critical to our success. To help us thrive and reach more customers like you, we kindly ask for a moment of your time. If you've shopped with us recently or in the past, please leave a review through the link above. Your honest feedback will help us improve and make a difference.
The summit is hosted by Edwin & Paul Dysinger, the father-son team behind the ground-breaking garden/farm planning and management software, Seedtime.
Through their shared passion and experience growing produce for over a decade with Bountiful Blessings farm, they have become well acquainted with both the joys and challenges of growing, whether for your own family, or for the public!
That passion, and their connections with some of the top voices in the regenerative gardening and farming space, has made this summit possible.
During this free Summit you'll discover:
How to build healthy soil — the real foundation to a healthy, vibrant garden
How (and when) to irrigate for maximum yield and minimum effort
How to deal with diseases — by working with nature instead of against it, and addressing the root causes leading to plant weakness.
How to beat pests at their own game — from the inside and out, instead of just spraying more and more “organic bug spray”
How to grow the garden of your dreams — one that gives you food, and brings you joy
And more..
Root + Hive is now offering fresh compost for on-site pickup. We manage and turn this compost using local ingredients to ensure it maintains the proper balance. All batches are formally tested, and analysis reports are available upon request.
At Midwest Natives Nursery, we truly are looking out for the best interests of the environment and ecosystems around us! During every step of the way from seed harvest to greenhouse production to going home with you, we work to ensure that our processes are as environmentally-friendly and sustainable as possible.
Every one of our 300+ species of native wildflowers and grasses are straight-species (or non-cultivar), meaning they have not been bred by man for specific qualities, and thus are the absolute most natural and diverse plants you can find.
