Roots Garden Center

I've been coming to roots every year for a reprieve from the winter blues... sitting in their greenhouse or by the fireplace, sipping on a latte while I work has just changed the way I feel about winters in Billings. This last year, I started homeschooling my nephew and when bringing him to roots for the afternoon, we had the BEST experiences and I wanted to highlight a particularly incredible employee. Amber not only started recognizing us each week, but soon my nephew(7) searched her out with every visit to ask her something else about plants. By the end of the year, we purchased quite a few things at Amber's recommendations, and my nephew wants "Roots Dates" with all his favorite family members. Thank you so much for providing such an epic community spot in Billings, and making my nephew feel so special.

Would rate this 5 starts but I really didn’t like the staffs attitudes. They never said hi welcome in or can I help you. The place is beautiful and this is my first time here. We did the terrariums and everywhere there are prices except nowhere does it state that you have to pay for the fillers, or the moss or soil that goes in there. They’re were clearly running out of the materials the soil was so dry.. really shouldn’t be planting with that soil. Their prices are insanely out of control. The prices just don’t make sense.. there’s a decent sized jar for $4 then another one that’s the same size for $20 with less sturdy glass. Then there’s a tiny one for an air plant the size of my pinky for nearly $7. We also didn’t know they were getting ready to close and instead of telling us they just started taking all the plants away then they turned off the lights and proceeded to lock people outside.. it doesn’t hurt to just communicate

Beautiful! My best friend and I stopped by to browse (just drove by, and it looked nice). Black Dog had just closed, but the garden center was still open, so of course we had to see everything, and there was A Lot to see! So many different types and sizes of plants, planters, decorations, etc. We ended up buying a few little things, but we will definitely be back for a drink and to keep browsing all of the cool stuff they have to offer!

The atmosphere is absolutely amazing — peaceful, welcoming, and full of charm. The staff are incredibly helpful and knowledgeable, always happy to offer guidance or plant advice. My kids had a blast searching for hidden gnomes around the grounds and loved building their own terrariums — such a fun, hands-on experience that kept them totally engaged. I loved how there was truly something for everyone. The selection of plants is beautiful and well cared for, and Black Dog Coffee on-site is delicious — we enjoyed relaxing on the patio together over drinks. A super cool and unexpected surprise was the vinyl section — such a unique twist that makes this place even more special. It’s also a perfect spot to find birthday gifts or little treasures — so many thoughtful, locally-minded items. Roots isn’t just a garden center — it’s a community space, and we’re lucky to have it. Highly recommend!

We love coming here to browse plants and drink coffee! Cute little tables in the garden center in addition to main café area. Sometimes plants/pots are pricey but really like the atmosphere. They are dog friendly in and outside as long as your doggo is on leash and gave my dog the cutest little pup cup 🥹💙
