Year: 2026
Built with: Instagram · Canva · Adobe Photoshop

Overview

Roots to Wellness is a Dallas 501(c)(3) working on youth and community healing, with the line “Healing communities from the roots up.”

Its topics are serious ones: access to nature, food justice and how the systems that grow our food shape our health. The feed has to make them approachable without making them smaller.

Instagram engagement

Feed posts in this set

Nine Roots to Wellness Instagram posts in a grid: green space for youth, a crate of radishes, “3 types of community,” planting, an Earth Day event post, “Earth justice is health justice” and “3 ways we are solving food injustice”

The challenge

Roots to Wellness needed consistent publishing and clearer visuals, so its wellness guidance would come across the moment someone scrolled past.

Make education easy to take in

Turn ideas like food justice and green space into a headline and a few short points.

Post consistently

A recurring plan, so the account stays active between events.

Feel warm and grounded

Gardens, hands in soil and fresh produce, in keeping with the organization's roots.

Bring people to events

Event posts and reels that say what, when and where, with a QR code to sign up.

The approach

01
A recurring content plan
A repeating mix of educational posts, community posts and event promotion.
02
Educational graphics
Each post leads with one clear statement, followed by a short list or a single supporting line.
03
A consistent visual hierarchy
Big headline, then the supporting points, then the takeaway, on every post.
04
Reel-ready assets
Vertical event graphics built to sit over video, with the event details and a QR code.

The work

Feed posts

Garden and community photography with bold type. Script accents (“3 types of,” “3 ways we are solving”) add warmth to heavy headlines.

Design system

The posts let the photography carry the mood (gardens, soil, produce and hands working together) and keep the type bold and direct so the message reads at a glance.

Statement first

Every post opens with one line that can stand alone, like “Access to nature is not a luxury, it's infrastructure.”

Labels over photos

Short points sit in white boxes over the photo so they stay readable on any image.

Script accents

A handwritten script on top of heavy capitals softens serious topics.

Calls to action built in

Event posts carry the date, the city and a QR code, so people can act straight from the feed.

The outcome

Roots to Wellness now has a cohesive educational feed and a predictable posting rhythm, and its Instagram engagement has doubled. Each post explains one idea clearly, and they all look like they come from the same organization.

Event posts and reels give the community what it needs to show up: what's happening, when, where and how to sign up.
