Our Story
We firmly believe in the positive mental, emotional and physical health benefits associated with having nature in your home.
Why we started a plant business
Hey Rooted exists to reconnect people to nature. Plants aren't just beautiful things that make our spaces look and feel great, they've been scientifically proven to better your health and happiness as well.
But we noticed something about how most plants are sold online: many brands never actually touch the plants they sell. Orders get passed to whichever wholesaler has inventory, plants travel long distances through many hands, and too often they arrive tired, damaged, or nothing like the photo.
We believed people deserved better. So we built Hey Rooted to be nursery-direct. Our plants are grown at our own farms, cared for by real plant people, and shipped from the coast closest to you. Fewer stops between the greenhouse and your home means healthier plants, gentler prices, and a plant-buying experience that's more fun, convenient and accessible in the most sustainable way possible.
From our nursery, to your doorstep
Everything we ship starts at one of our own farms or trusted partner nurseries, where our plants are grown, inspected and packed by the same team.
Because we have greenhouses on both coasts, your plant ships from the one nearest to you. That shorter journey means less stress on the plant, less damage in transit, and a smaller footprint for the planet — something we care about deeply.
It also means we can offer a wider variety of plants than you'll find at your local store, at prices that keep plant parenthood within everyone's reach. Growing our own plants lets us skip the middlemen and pass the savings along to you.
And there are a couple of things we simply won't do: we don't sell faux plants (everything we ship is living and growing), and we don't drop ship. If it has our name on it, our hands have cared for it.
Here's to greener thumbs, greener minds, and a greener world.
We've got you (and your plant)
We know bringing home a plant — especially one that arrives in a box — can feel like a leap of faith. Will it survive the trip? Will I be able to keep it alive?
That's why every order is backed by our30 Day Happiness Guarantee. If your plant arrives damaged or isn't thriving, we'll make it right — no hoops, no hassle.
And you're never on your own after delivery. Every plant comes with educational care guidance written by our in-house plant experts, and a friendly support team that's always happy to look at a photo and talk you through it. We've helped a lot of first-time plant parents become confident ones.
We're still learning & growing
Hey Rooted is run by people who have spent years with their hands in the soil — from the growers at our farms to the plant experts who write the care guides on this site. We've learned a lot along the way (sometimes the hard way), and we're always finding new ways to serve you better.
