Visit our rural, seasonal greenhouse!
Take a relaxing ride to the country, no big boxes here! Just a Mom & Pop shop where we do things like
reuse, recycle, and use wooden plant tags in our pots like the old days!!
We are a Family owned Greenhouse and Nursery nestled in the Town of Lake, near Loomis, in beautiful Northeastern Wisconsin. Several years ago, we adopted a new business plan, part of which includes seasonal hours in this very seasonal business. Whether you were one of our regular visitors at our Crivitz location, or someone we'd love to meet, please feel free to get in touch with us, we are never far from the greenhouse!
We grow Annual Flowers, Vegetable Plants, Herbs, Succulents and Shrubs.
We have expanded our Perennial Selections, they are in a cold location, so they will be dormant in the early weeks.
We are here to assist you in finding the right fit for you and your garden!
Plants are what we do!
Thanks to all for a Rocking 2024 Season!
We are closed for the season, our season being May & June! We no longer hold regular hours, and our annual greenhouse is sold out!
However, we still have a nice supply of perennials and some beautiful shrubs available to purchase by appointment. Give me a call and I will set up a time that works for us both! Planting containerized plants can be done at any time as long as you willing to keep them watered, and provide a little shade if they need it getting started. If you would rather wait, late summer to early fall is a wonderful time to plant with a little less upkeep.

Change seems to be the one thing that is constant, and yes, the love of growing things, so if you are interested in how we got to where we are now, here is the story.
Deep Roots……
Deep roots are a great attribute not only for plants, but people too! Petal'n'Roots was started at 913 Mira Avenue (Corner of Mira and County Road A) since 2007, but our family has lived in the Crivitz area for generations.
Taking a step way-back, my grandparents, Walter and Sadie Schnell were the offspring of German Immigrants, and brought their family to live and grow on the same family farm I grew up on. The family’s calling was running the small family dairy farm, which today is a rare thing. Thinking back, these small farmers were the entrepreneurs of the day, as running a successful farm and raising a large family is no small feat. Myself, my siblings and my children spent countless hours playing in the Peterman Brook which runs through the original family homestead. It is now owned by my sister, in fact, all of my 6 siblings and parents live within a 50 mile radius to this day!
I have a son, Kelly and two daughters, Erin and Jenny. Our family was raised here on my parents (Charlie and Dorothy Schnell's) first farm, purchased on a shoestring as a young couple, 3 miles from the original homestead, and have developed it into Beech Road Gardens, and now Petal 'n' Roots. Many people might recognize it as the location of many yearly plant sales, going back to 2000. I couldn’t seem to stop growing, even then, and had to liquidate the plants my extensive home garden could no longer contain. In 2002 I became trained as a Master Gardener, and was hopelessly smitten, and knew I had to do something more. As Petal'n'Roots became a reality, Beech Road Gardens continued to be developed into the young plant nursery, and now, back to our roots! and it becomes Petal 'n' Roots!
I will work hard to nurture our deep roots and to pass on the love of growing to our children and grandchildren. My promise to you is to continually strive to improve and educate and to grow the very best plants possible, from my family to yours…………
