About Us
At Lively Root, our mission is to inspire green spaces by connecting people with plants. We believe a strong relationship with plants will lead to greener and more sustainable lifestyles. Through our nursery partners on the west coast and throughout the country, we deliver healthy, happy plants to you and your loved ones.
Our Founder's Story
With over 200 combined years of horticultural experience, our founders are fathers who want to pass their love of green spaces down to their future generations. From our first nursery in San Diego to our local nursery partners across the US we are able to deliver handpacked, healthy and happy plants right to your doorstep.

Our Nursery
Our plants are home-grown at our nursery in San Diego. They spend their days soaking up the California sun and receiving VIP (very important plant) treatment until they are hand-selected by one of our team members and sent directly to your doorstep.
We provide a true farm to tabletop (or book nook, or home office) experience for your plants. They are securely packed and ready for any bumps in the road on their way to their new home. They arrive in beautiful condition to add freshness and brightness to your indoor or outdoor spaces.
We care about our plants just as much as we care about our impact on the environment around us. That’s why we only use eco-friendly materials including the sustainable packaging your plants are shipped in.
Inspiration, Guidance, and Fun
If you’re like us, your plant collection will never stop growing. (A room without plants? Impossible.) We want to inspire even more plant lovers and larger green spaces.
We’re proud to be plant parents and think of them as members of our family. We even name them and tell them our deepest secrets (just us?). We love helping you find plants that match your lifestyle, from pet-friendly to super resilient. Every order includes a Lively Root care card with instructions on how to keep your new plant companion happy and healthy.

And if you’re looking for more ambiance, we partner with interior designers and home decor experts to help you style a Pinterest-worthy plant shelf or pick out the trendiest plants for gifting.
We are always aiming to spark connections through green spaces and grow our horticulture-loving community one fresh plant delivery at a time.
