Our story began in 2019 when a man in love, who was living in an apartment with no land, made a bold promise to plant 1000 peonies.
Our first peony roots were planted in a community garden as a gesture of love. Love and community are what those blooms represent, and in how we share them.
Now, seven years later, our forever peony garden in Seymour, IL, is bursting with 1000s of blooms from 700+ peony plants.

In 2025, we began a new journey to help others write their own peony stories by planting fresh premium roots that are harvested and planted in the fall.
Peonies can bloom in the spring for generations. The meaningful memories and connections they create between others are gifts. Receiving a peony root, and all that it represents, should feel like a gift.
But we couldn't find roots in the marketplace that did just that. Most roots from garden centers and big box stores come in plastic bags with a variety label.
Inspired by all of the peony stories people shared with us, we created a way for you to purchase roots for yourself or others that reflect the beautiful meaning peonies represent.
In the Fall of 2025, we launched a small collection of premium giftable peony roots online and in a boutique to gather customer feedback on what they liked, didn’t like, and what they’d love to see in the future.
In the Spring of 2026, we launched our a full collection of The Peony Story Roots and Root gifts to help others write peony stories that bloom for generations.
Each peony root collection and gift tells different stories of romantic love, family, friendship, and the beauty of creativity and the unexpected.
Our roots' stories began years ago on small family farms, rich in their own stories, right here in the U.S. The same farms we've trusted for our garden.
The best time to harvest and plant peonies is in the Fall. We ship our premium 3/5 eye peony roots to you in the Fall, so you can plant them right away.
From the moment the vibrant Adoration Peony Garden box is delivered to your door, you or the recipient feels like you are opening a gift.
