welcome to NDB garden & studio

Born out of a love of all things garden, design and traditional skills, NDB Garden Studio is a place for slow making, and seasonal living. Inspired by and grounded in my suburban garden and home studio in Whanganui, NZ.

I offer ecologically grown, fresh garden flowers and herbs, custom distillations and dried herbal products for sale to local makers.

Seasonally, we also offer handmade goods from our garden, such as plant dyed ribbons, natural gifts and hydrosols. You can join my email list to be notified of our small batch goods.
