Join me to learn what you need to know to care for your very own lap.chicken! You’ll learn the basics of raising backyard chickens, including care essentials, coop setup, and city-friendly tips for happy, healthy chickens.

We'll take a tour of the chicken coop in the secret garden behind Rooted Living, where you’ll meet our flock—Daphne, Cha Cha, Petunia, Clover, and Ivy—while discussing practical considerations like feeding, space requirements, predator protection, and egg production. Whether you're a beginner or just curious, you'll leave with the knowledge and confidence to start (or improve) your own backyard flock.

My first floral design job was at Rick Orr Florist, while I was studying horticulture at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. During the four years I worked there, I learned so much from Rick and his business partner, Geraldine. That experience sent me on the (somewhat circuitous) entrepreneurial path to starting Pollen and then Rooted Living.

Rick was ahead of the floral design trends, using clear glass vases while most florists were still arranging in smiley face mugs. His perspective shaped the direction my own floral design would take, leading me toward a more naturalistic style.

l'm headed down to Champaign to pay my respects to Rick and reconnect with folks from my time there.

I'll be back in the shop on Thursday. See you then!

When this little lady wandered into a neighbor's yard, I offered to keep her for the night while they looked for the owners. Two weeks later, she's still here and officially joining our flock! To make introducing her to our two older ladies easier, we got her a little girl gang. 🐥🐥🐥

They'll be living in the shop until we integrate them with our older gals so stop by to meet them!
