Urban Roots. Where Buffalo Gardens
Urban Roots is a place to buy plants – flowers, shrubs, trees and vegetables – at a location you can drive or walk to in a few minutes. Community owned and operated. Open year round. Urban Roots Community Garden Center offers gardening tools, soil, mulch, plants, unusual varieties, organic products, gifts for gardeners, and workshops in your neighborhood. Urban Roots works with local growers and artisans in order to bring the area regional products and support our local economy as much as possible.

We closed on the two additional lots, adjacent to our existing yard, at 9:30 am on Tuesday, March 18th, 2008. We have just doubled the size of our outdoor space to 120×100 feet.
