Files
wander through your garden
with the people you love.
a session for slowing down
and smelling the roses
The tree you planted when your first baby was born.
The patch of grass where the kids play.
The veggie garden someone is always tending.
The flowers Dad planted.
The trampoline that will eventually disappear.
The cubby that will gradually become too small.
The place where birthdays, Christmas and ordinary afternoons happen.
The garden that looks completely different five years from now.
your garden,
and your story
The garden you have today won't always look like this.
The plants will grow.
The trees will get taller.
The kids will get bigger.
Things will be planted, pulled out, built, broken and replaced.
And one day you'll look back at these photographs and remember more than just what your children looked like.
You'll remember the place.
The garden as it was.
Your family as you were.
Because it becomes part of your family'S story.
why the garden?
Seasonal sessions, running each autumn and spring
These sessions are a way to document your family as you grow alongside your garden.
Pre-selected dates in each season.
Select your preferred date on application.
Imagine applying in spring 2027.
Your garden is overflowing with new growth. Your little one is barely walking.
Then you apply again in autumn 2028.
The garden has changed. The child has changed. The way you use your space has changed.
And before you know it, you have a beautiful collection of photos spanning the seasons and the years.
what are
The Garden Files
To apply, you'll send a photo or video of your garden and tell me a little bit about your family and the place you're growing in.
You don't need to have a beautiful garden to apply.
You just need to have a story.
A brand new garden, plants freshly planted. Ready to watch them grow.
A magical fairy garden where hours are spent playing and imagining.
A new cubby house being built.
A veggie patch full of fresh produce ready to be picked.
*Successful applicants will automatically be offered a session in the following calendar year to continue building your 'garden files'.
