Roots Garden Center in Billings set to open and bloom April 22 A business with deep family ties Q2 News / Mitch Lagge and last updated 2021-04-03 20:53:01-04 BILLINGS â After a wild winter of planning, Jon and Karen Switzer plan to launch a new business in Billings called Roots Garden Center, that the couple said they hope to be more than just a flower shop. âThereâs a saying that, âthe best time to plant a tree is yesterday. And the second best time is today.â When we moved into the neighborhood, because weâre close by, and we saw the space and we were invited to participate in the idea of this vision, think we both looked at each other and we were able to go, âthis is kind of crazy, but lets plant our roots here," Jon told MTN News in late March.
