welcome to my garden & studio

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

Growing with the seasons, the wellbeing of all garden users is my guiding principle. I feel that gardens should be good for everyone: From the invertebrates to humans and everyone in between.
