Speaking with others juggling work, home life, and new gardens of their own, she found many shared the same challenge… too much information, too little time, but a real desire to make their outdoor spaces feel as special as their homes.Blending creativity with practicality, she’s built an app that takes the guesswork out of gardening, offering design inspiration, personalised plant recommendations, and seasonal care guidance through Petal, DearGarden’s friendly garden sidekick. Her mission is to make gardening more accessible, mindful and joyful, helping people create thriving gardens, and grow their confidence along the way.
