Field Journal
Our journal shares stories from the garden, seasonal insights, practical care advice and reflections on design, pruning and plant life. Along the way, we’ll include both our successes and our lessons learned, because gardening has never been about perfection. It’s about rhythm, observation and embracing the beautiful unpredictability of nature.
