The seed for Roots Garden Center was planted when owner, Scott Peterson, decided to retire from the railroad. Scott’s wife, Karen, asked “What will be our next adventure?” Over the course of their many joyful years it was not the first time either of them had decided to reinvent themself. Building on his love of plants and art, he bought a truck and hired a crew to assist him with a landscaping company. Scott’s unique style of landscaping and consistent quality earned him a fine reputation.
