Back to the Roots is an organic gardening company founded by Nikhil Arora and Alejandro Velez. Back to the Roots has an award-winning line of organic soils, seeds, plant foods, raised beds, and indoor gardening kits.

Since then, the organic gardening company has evolved from an urban mushroom farm in Oakland, CA to a thriving national brand and the fastest-growing gardening company in the country. With a mission to reconnect families back to their food and the land, Nikhil and Alejandro are transforming the gardening industry by making it easy for anyone, anywhere to grow their own food. The organic gardening products are currently distributed in over 15,000 stores including Walmart, The Home Depot, Target, Lowe’s, Tractor Supply, and Whole Foods, as well as on Amazon.
