Our Why

The Story Behind Rhizomatic Gardens



I Didn’t Build a Wellness Company. I Built a Lifeline.

Years ago, I was a young father with four kids under the age of five, juggling work, family, and an unsettling feeling that something was off.


Then came the diagnosis: a slow-growing form of lymphoma that had gone undetected for nearly five years.

It stopped everything...

We took our family to Disney World… not knowing if we were making memories or saying goodbye.

But that wasn’t the end.
That was the beginning.

The Turning Point

I’m wired to ask questions, connect patterns, and challenge what doesn’t make sense. So I turned away from fear, and toward what heals.

I immersed myself in ancient wisdom, functional nutrition, and the body’s natural intelligence, because the body is not only smarter than you think, it's smart'r than you can think!

What I found changed everything.

I didn’t just survive.
I healed, through regenerative practices based on the ancient wisdom of nature.

And I knew I had to help others do the same.

What I Discovered

Health isn’t found in a pill, it’s found in BALANCE.

My healing journey became a process of “stacking” powerful inputs:

  • Functional mushrooms 🍄

  • Whole-food nutrition 🥦

  • Adaptogenic roots 🌱

  • Essential minerals 🧂

  • Energetic, movement, and mindset 🧘

It wasn’t one thing.
It was a Rhizomatic, nonlinear, layered approach, that's nature-inspired.

Why Rhizomatic Gardens

Rhizomes are underground networks. They spread. They adapt. They regenerate.
Mycelium and Mushrooms are their master communicators, breaking down, rebuilding, and renewing the entire ecosystem. Without mycelium and the fruiting bodies of mushrooms, nothing works, actually everything will die. EVERYTHING!

Everything, literally everything, involves mushrooms!

At Rhizomatic Gardens, we honor that wisdom by crafting potent, pure, and purpose-driven mushroom stacks that support your body at the root, from gut to brain to immune system.

This isn’t about managing symptoms.
It’s about becoming whole again.

A Message from me Scott Burgess. 

I didn’t start this company to sell supplements.
I started it to save my life, and now, to help save yours.

I believe your body is not only smarter than you think, it’s Smart’r than you can think.

You just have to be patient, and give your body what actually works and needs.

You don’t need to be fixed, because you're perfect! 
You need to be reminded who you are.

If you’re ready to reclaim your health, you’re in the right place.
