Welcome to Good Roots!

Good Roots is a retail space located in downtown Glen Ellyn. A space designed by two women (Ashley & Lindsay) with big dreams of spreading the love and joy of houseplants into the homes of everyone.

They are both natural nurturers: both in their homes as wife and mothers and to their plant babies. With hearts full of gold, they love to watch both plants and humans grow. Knowing full well that everything stems from “good roots,” they decided to use that for the name of their space.

These two meeting was fate as they were two kindred spirits destined to pursue their passions together. So much so that in the heat of COVID, they decided to take the plunge and convert the playroom in Ashley’s home into a place where they sold plants on the weekends. How cool!

This passion project grew into a bigger purpose as they realized that their side hustle had more potential than they initially realized.

When I visited Good Roots for the first time, I was greeted with so much kindness and good energy. Ashley and Lindsay talk to their customers like they are old friends. I find that absolutely beautiful. Since then, I have been able to connect with them more on social media. When I asked them to go into depth about their Good Roots mission, they said:

“When we opened Good Roots, we wanted it to feel like a place people could visit as frequently as they wanted to – to unwind, relax, find inspiration, or escape. Our passion for design, plants, and people is really what drives Good Roots, and it absolutely feels like a home we built together with customers that feel and share with us like family.”
