Are you a plant enthusiast? Cactus parent? Looking to add to your potted collection? Then we've got something lined up for YOU! ๐ฑ
The Root at SoMa is excited to welcome ChickenPaw Plantery ๐ก๐๐ซ๐ง ๐ฆ๐๐ง๐จ๐ฅ๐๐๐ฌ, ๐๐๐ด๐๐๐ 22๐ป๐ฑ ๐ณ๐ฟ๐ผ๐บ 10๐ฎ๐บ - 2๐ฝ๐บ to host a pop-up where you can explore and purchase the cutest succulents and cactus!
Backed by more than a decade of training and knowledge, ChickenPaw Plantery was founded by plant lady, Kayla Butterfield, in September 2021. It began as an intended single plant show to clear some greenhouse space after her plant collection got a little out of hand.
The very first ChickenPaw plant show took place in downtown Mountain Home and was an unexpected roaring success.
Now nearly 5 years later, ChickenPaw Plantery have gained a reputation for the very best in artistically designed cactus/succulent arrangements, lush leafy plants, sound plant care advice, fun plant show themes, and engaging plant workshops.
Ready to be astounded, plant lovers?? Be certain to catch ChickenPaw Plantery here at SoMa while you grab some breakfast or lunch! ๐ต๐ฅ

Weโre back again this year to step it up and show out for Carver-Washington Magnet Schoolโs Supply Drive! Itโs become a tradition to partner with our local schools to ensure that students have what they need for a successful school year ahead, and we want YOU to join us to make a difference! โ๏ธ๐๐
Throughout the month of August, stop by The Root at SoMa while youโre out and about to drop off any donations that you may have lying around or have collected โ we have a list of suggested items to choose from here!
And if youโre dining with us, we also have an opportunity to donate through our Change for Change Round-Up program, where 100% of the round up change in-store and online will be donated to Carver-Washington Magnet School for further needs.
With your support of The Root, youโre helping us continue to grow and empower our mission of Building Community Through Local Food where it matters most! ๐งก๐ฑ
Itโs gonna be another hot one out today! ๐ But our SoMa misters are ready to rumble and keep you cool while you enjoy your favorites on the patio or garden! โ๏ธ
