Not Your Traditional Nursery

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.

Gup's Flower Gardens grows into new space

In May 2023, Gup's Flower Gardens acquired the largest greenhouse at Root + Hive. After repairing the roof's structural damage, Gup's has started renovating the interior of the greenhouse to begin producing cut flowers for both retail and wholesale markets.

For our spring season sales, Gup's will offer a limited selection of specialty flower starts. They will be open every Saturday, starting from May 4th until supplies last. We encourage you to come out and support our newest grower.
