Roots and Shoots Nursery — Local services in Charleston

I had heard good things about this place from my neighbor and was excited to have the opportunity to check it out. My husband and I wandered around for several minutes admiring the plants and then discovered a fountain that we both really liked. Unfortunately, the fountain did not have a price tag nor was it on so that you could see/hear it functioning. A man approached and asked if we needed assistance and we asked about the price. My husband also asked if the lowest/ largest piece could be lifted by two individuals. Unfortunately, neither answer was known.

I decided to stop here since I was looking for a few additions to my garden. I pulled in and found parking easily. As soon as I got out the car, a young lady was working and stopped to greet me. Very polite with a smile. I told her I was searching for a lemon tree and asked if they had any. She said yes and walked me to them. She even helped me pick one out and explained the different types of citrus trees they carried. She showed me around and pointed out the herb section. I ended up purchasing a fennel plant as well.
