the Dearest Garden story
hi, i’m quilenthia, the founder of Dearest Garden.
Dearest Garden began not as a business but as a heartfelt endeavor during the 2020 pandemic. After closing my fabric business that year, I found myself in a period of grieving and searching for something to help me heal. Gardening became my refuge. A sanctuary where I could cultivate not only plants but also healing and peace.
What started as a deeply personal project soon blossomed into something much more. Dearest Garden was born from my desire to capture and share the calm, comfort, and beauty my garden provided during a challenging time.
Where Gardening Meets Art
Now Dearest Garden lets me combine my two passions - gardening and creating. Photography has been my creative outlet for over 10 years, and it’s through this craft that I bring to life my love for vintage aesthetics and dreamy florals.
my journey with dearest garden began as a personal sanctuary, where i found peace and purpose in gardening and creating.
The Journey On Film
What began as a quiet record of my own personal garden is currently transitioning into a broader documentary series. Moving forward, Dearest Garden will be visiting and filming other people gardening, captured in my signature style.
Alongside these property visits, I will also be sharing behind-the-scenes vlogs that document the reality of filming and producing these videos. The Youtube channel will continue to serve as a visual love letter to slow living and the art of garden documentation
