Meet our local vendor Jess Gilbertson🌿

Jess is a plant lover with deep roots, literally! She works at Hill’s Gardens in Albert Lea, her family’s nursery, where years of hands-on experience sparked a passion she just had to share. From beautiful succulent arrangements to thriving houseplants, Jess brings both skill and heart to everything she grows.

She’s also the founder of Follow Your Roots, a small-batch herbal preparation business inspired by the idea that plants were our original healers. Her mission is simple: help people reconnect with the time-honored wisdom of botanical wellness.

Whether you’re drawn to her stunning arrangements or her herbal offerings, Jess is here to help you grow, in every sense of the word.

Stop by this Saturday between 9am-12pm to Albert Lea Farmers Market to say hello and check out what she has to offer!
