The Catalog

Three things, grown right.

Everything here comes from the same greenhouse — seed saved by hand, cuttings rooted in trays, divisions pulled from established plants. No warehouse, no middleman, no mystery.

Inside the tunnel

This is where it all comes from.

No distribution center, no rented nursery. Every seed and cutting Texas Roots sells starts in this backyard hoop greenhouse in El Campo — herbs, peppers, tomatoes, and houseplants in a few dozen grow bags.

Small batch means you get plants that were alive and growing the same week they shipped.

Who's behind it

Started by Jordan Polasek, one garden at a time.

Texas Roots was founded by Jordan Polasek, an El Campo technologist who got tired of mail-order plants showing up half-dead in a box. So he started sending his own — from his own greenhouse, propagated by hand, with his goldendoodle Autumn supervising.

Jordan also runs and built this entire storefront himself. The same person who tends the beds writes the code and packs the boxes. Order from Texas Roots and you're ordering straight from Jordan Polasek's garden bench in El Campo.
