Meet Jessica, the green-thumbed guru behind Roots & Sproots, where every sprout and leaf is part of a meticulously crafted living tapestry.

Growing up in Massachusetts, Jessica was practically predestined to be a plant whisperer. With parents who could probably conduct photosynthesis themselves, Jessica’s childhood was a whirlwind of botanical gardens, dirt-caked fingernails, and garden catalogs that served as bedtime stories.

Jessica’s journey took a fashionable detour through New York City, where she swapped soil for textiles and earned her stripes under none other than style maven Martha Stewart. Translating the vibrant hues of freshly cut flowers and the intricate patterns of antique botanical illustrations into swoon-worthy home decor was Jessica’s world. From the plush quilts to Christmas ornaments, her designs made nature an indoor affair.

However, the call of the wild—or should we say, the call of the wildflowers—was too strong to resist. After more than a decade of city life, Jessica and her growing family planted new roots in Chapel Hill where she dove headfirst into garden design and horticulture, eventually blossoming into Roots & Sproots. Today, she’s not just planting gardens; she’s creating ecosystems. Her designs are a feast for the eyes and a buffet for pollinators, emphasizing native plants and sustainable beauty.

Her mission? To make you fall in love with where you live, over and over again. So, if you’re looking to bring a little more green into your life (and who isn’t?), Jessica is your go-to garden gal!
