Root 13, the beloved Kings Heath plant shop, has blossomed with a stunning new second location in Birmingham’s Jewellery Quarter. This green haven, nestled within the Goodsyard on Pitsford Street, offers a peaceful retreat from the usual hustle and bustle of Christmas shopping.
Founded by Dave and Katy Williams, who opened their original store on Poplar Road in 2023, Root 13 has quickly gained a reputation as a “magical little shop” where customers don’t just buy plants—they nurture and repot them, becoming part of a growing community.
The new Jewellery Quarter store is significantly larger than the Kings Heath original, and it fulfills the owners’ vision of blending a unique shopping experience with a tranquil environment. Complete with an inviting aquarium and an enclosed calm space designed for relaxation, the shop encourages visitors to slow down, breathe deeply, and recharge amidst the festive frenzy.

“We cherish the vibrant community spirit here in the Jewellery Quarter,” said Dave Williams. “Our store invites people not only to find inspired plants for their homes but also to enjoy sensory moments—the soothing sound of water from our aquarium, the fresh aroma of plants and white sage, and a dedicated calm space to take five truly restorative minutes. Mental health is as important to us as the plants we sell.”
Since opening its doors on November 28, the new location has been met with enthusiastic praise. Social media buzz highlights the lush greenery that drapes the ceiling, tables brimming with succulents, cozy rocking chairs cradled by towering monsteras, and a welcoming fireplace enveloped by verdant leaves.
One admirer exclaimed, “Oh wow, this looks insane, I want to move in!” while Birmingham Artisan Markets applauded the duo: “Such a stunning space. Well done - you both deserve to be very proud of yourselves.”
Root 13’s Jewellery Quarter store is open Monday to Saturday, 10am to 6pm, at 53 Pitsford Street, B18 6FG — just a short stroll from the Jewellery Quarter tram and train station. Whether you’re seeking the perfect Christmas gift or a moment of peaceful respite, Root 13 promises a refreshing escape this holiday season.
