Tidal Roots

Plants bring out the best in us.

We believe in the healing balm of nature, family and community. Growing is second nature to us and so is sharing what we’ve learned. We’re John and Erica Tilghman and Tidal Roots Garden Center is our dream come true.

good vibes only

Tidal Roots was designed to feel like your third space. A fresh new destination that feels familiar and filled with your favorite things. We are thoughtful about choosing plants and elevated kitchen, home and outdoor goods that feel at home on the Eastern Shore we know and love.

Wellness and comfort are personal for us, so we source plants and brands we believe in and use in our own outdoor and indoor spaces. We are serious about growing, learning and creating an immersive and reliably wonderful experience. But we find joy and fun in doing what we love, especially for you.

Veggies & Herbs

Delicious edible annuals used as main and side dishes or in small amounts for flavor, aroma or garnish.
