It has been and it always is a great joy to photograph plants, which
I’ve been doing for many years. With an interest in, and love for wild and
cultivated flowers since I was a young girl in the Dutch countryside, I now
have a large photo-archive full of flowers and plants, made in the areas I
lived in or on my travels around the world.
“The wonders of nature are like new every year” author Wendel Berry*
writes. I love gardening and
see the daily changes in plants, from seed to bud to blossoming to the
releasing of seed again at the end of the cycle. Such a great example of life!
The flowers in our gardens are grown in a natural way, without chemicals, just
organic compost, manure, love and lots of appreciation. I loved living with
them in my own garden at home, at the studio, and in other gardens.
With every herbal greeting card, with every little bag of herbs or seed
in it we give you:
The promise of life
enfolding
The joy of growing and
releasing, all in perfect timing
The blessings of good
health
The abundance of colour,
form and fragrance
The encouragement to
express your love for the Earth
The miracle of Life
—
You are also all that!
