The roots of Rooted by Keits began long before the business itself - and owner Tyler Keit envisions them growing to reach our whole community.

“Our philosophy is to provide high-quality plants at very competitive prices to as many people in this area as possible,” Tyler Shares. “The name ‘Rooted’ came from what business means to me. My roots are in this city, and this industry. So, although we’re a new company, I already have plans of ways I think Rooted can help better the community.”

Blooming in Essexville, Rooted by Keits offers ornamental flowers, hanging baskets, and flats along with perennials, vegetable and herb plants, and more. Tyler, son of one of the owners of Keits Greenhouse and Floral Center, says, “In a sense, I was born into the greenhouse business.” Growing up, Tyler went to the family greenhouse every day before and after school, working “until either school started or my dad was ready to go home.” At age 18, Tyler felt something growing inside himself: the want to establish something of his own.

If you stop by Rooted by Keits, you’ll likely meet Gracie and Kobe and you might meet one of Tyler’s siblings or his parents, too, who all help out. After all, they’re all part of the roots of Rooted by Keits.
