the Dearest Garden story
hi, i’m Quienthia, also known as 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.
my journey with dearest garden began as a personal sanctuary, where i found peace and purpose in gardening and creating.

behind the scenes
Based in a small town in Georgia, I’m a wife, mother of three, and a lover of all things creative. My husband, Rodney, is my partner in life and in business, managing the accounting, logistics, and lending a hand when able. My journey with Dearest Garden began as a personal sanctuary, where I found peace and purpose in gardening and creating. My work embodies the calm and warmth I find in nature.
With a B.S. in Business Administration and a lifelong passion for entrepreneurship, I’ve always been drawn to the joy of creating. Over the years, I've tried my hand at a few different craft businesses and was quite successful in them. Once that chapter closed, in 2020, I finally had the time and space to develop my own garden. From this cultivation, Dearest Garden was naturally formed.
“Dearest Garden lets me combine my two passions”
Now Dearest Garden lets me combine my two passions - gardening and creating. Photography has been my creative outlet for over eight years, and it’s through this craft that I bring to life my love for vintage aesthetics and dreamy florals.
When I’m not in the garden, I enjoy spending time with my family, exploring my love for botanical line art, or engaging in strength training. These passions keep me balanced and inspired in both my personal and creative life.
from the Garden
Dearest Garden is shared on YouTube as a record of life in the garden, through pollinators, blooms, and everyday moments. It’s where the garden is documented over time, alongside the process of building Dearest Garden as it continues to take shape.
