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

I (not a huge plant person) recently stopped at Wild Roots with my boyfriend (plant daddy). Their selection of plants were absolutely beautiful and I love that they're mainly indoor plants. My boyfriend has a tendency to be very thorough and this visit was no excuse. The gentleman working was so patient and answered the 1,001 questions my boyfriend had and then some. Being so close to downtown I was amazed at how affordable all of their plants, pottery, and apothecary was! Not only was the gentlemen extremely informative but we were given a plant guide with our purchase to properly take care of our new babies. I bought a plant and one of their beautiful pots and they potted my plant for me!!! If you're a plant expert, looking to get into the game or even needing a gift you need to go to Wild Roots. read more

Plant parents, and wannabe plant parents: this is the shop for you! This locally owned shop of green wonders is the go to spot for your next house plant baby. The staff is incredibly knowledgeable and eager to help you select the PERFECT plant for your space. The team will take in all considerations from your house layout, light orientation, pet concerns and even your availability to care for the plant! I highly recommend one of their expertly curated workshops on plant and self care. Who would have thought these two practices could mingle so well?! Get grounded at Wild Roots! read more

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.

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

I first heard about this nursery from an article in the newspaper stating this business supplies most of the gardenias in Florida. I also had an occasion to ask them a question one time about an Earth Box and was met with science based answers. Filed that in the back of my mind that these guys know what they are doing. I have been looking for a bunch of trees and have visited many places in the St. Pete area getting quotes and talking about what I could do with my front yard. The more people I spoke to, the more I realized that plant and tree experts were as rare as an exotic plant. I drove by Carroll's on my way to work one morning and rang them up on the phone. Immediately Richard answered and demonstrated his expert knowledge on plants and trees. I stopped in after work, and by the time I left, I had 7 new trees and a gardenia. I asked him if they could plant the trees for me as well, and he was agreeable to just about everything I needed and didn't rip apart my budget doing so. I think I have ten green thumbs and thought I knew a thing or two about plants, until I started talking to Richard. I don't know, maybe I picked up at least ten tips from him in the short time we spoke. If you are looking to stay local, meaning independent, family-owned business, this is the place to go. I am now scouting out additional areas in my yard to add more gardenias since they carry a so many different hybrids. They are also working with me to develop a landscape plan that suits my budget and environmental requirements. What a pleasure to work with these guys. They made a customer for life.
