About Rooted & Still

Gardening that makes space for gentle, meaningful growth.

Rooted & Still helps people reconnect with nature through practical plant care, approachable digital resources, and intentional tending.

Our beginner-friendly guides and personalized planning make gardening feel less complicated and more possible, even for busy people or anyone who has struggled with plants before.

We focus on observation, small manageable steps, and learning through the process so your growing space can support rather than overwhelm you.

Gardening does not have to be perfect to be meaningful. Sometimes the smallest act of tending is enough for today.

With patient guidance and thoughtful resources, you can build routines that feel natural, notice what your plants need, and grow with greater confidence season by season.

A gentler approach

Practical gardening, intentional tending, and room to grow at your own pace.

Meet the maker

From one pot of basil to a grounded growing community.

Erika Tompkins found gardening during a season when she needed something slower, quieter, and more grounded.

What began with caring for a single pot of basil grew into years of propagating plants, tending edible and ornamental gardens, and learning through both success and failure.

Erika created Rooted & Still to make gardening feel less overwhelming while honoring what she learned firsthand: caring for something living can create space to care for ourselves.
