Enrolling New Members Now! 🌸🪻🌸 Our first Garden Story Project Starts January 2027
Join your local story—or grow your own.
Root Weavers™ is the official membership community of the Garden Story Project™, created for families, individuals, and lifelong learners who believe that stories grow best when they are experienced—not just read.
If your library, school, museum, garden club, historical society, or community organization hosts a Garden Story Project™, your Root Weaver membership gives you immediate access to the shared digital resources, printable activities, passports, and seasonal member content that accompanies each story.
And if there isn't a Garden Story host near you? You become the host.
Every month, Root Weavers receive everything needed to create meaningful story-inspired experiences at home: books, nature exploration, gardening activities, botanical crafts, family conversations, stewardship projects, and creative challenges designed to help your family build traditions together.
The Garden Story Project™ transforms books into living experiences. A single story becomes the beginning of a month filled with curiosity, creativity, gardening, nature observation, and community connection.
Instead of asking, "What did you read?" we ask:
What did you grow?
What did you discover?
Who did you help?
What story did your family create together?
Whether you're learning with a local community or from your own backyard, every family is weaving a unique story into the larger Garden Story community.🌿

Root Weavers also gain access to material created and hosted by Holistic Life Balance Advisor.Your membership helps support the development of ARHS programs, materials, gardens, and community experiences.
If your local library, school, museum, garden club, or community organization hosts the Garden Story Project™, your Root Weaver membership unlocks the digital companion resources that go with each monthly story.
