Root Stock & Quade

A green haven among gray city streets, Root Stock & Quade is like an oracle of city gardening. Out front: plants, out back: plants, inside the long, narrow store itself: plants, and everything you need to, you know, plant them. Choose among stone and ceramic pots, potting soil, and cute little gardening tools. The store also serves as a florist--ready to create an arrangement for you, your significant other, or your wedding.
