The Darlin’ Garden creates small-batch goods for home and body, thoughtfully crafted to help people stay present. Inspired by the quiet magic of the natural world, each item is made to invite slow moments, deep breaths, and a sense of peace through everyday rituals.
Growing up, I used to hate flowers. I thought it was silly to buy them just for them to die shortly after. But at the lowest point of my life, I bought myself flowers on a whim and I realized that flowers aren’t meant to last forever. Their job is to keep us present. They help us appreciate the beauty of life and death. Life is truly short and there’s so much to be grateful for if you’re willing to be present and notice. This is how I came to realize that flowers and nature’s beauty can nourish and heal the soul. Their fleeting beauty is a reminder of the short time we have to grow into the best version of ourselves in this world.
Before long, I found myself starting my own garden and learning to appreciate the fruits of my labor growing into something beautiful. I created The Darlin’ Garden to share the magic of the garden with others. To provide tools to help you protect your peace, appreciate the present, and spark joy. I want to help others discover a kinder, gentler, more intentional way to live through self-care gifts like crackling wood wick candles, soothing balms, and more nature-inspired delights made with gentle ingredients and intention.
Everything I create is inspired by the garden and my journey of healing. This story may sound dramatic and in truth—it is. I owe my life to the garden, nature, and its ability to heal. My hope is that a bit of that healing can reach you too for whatever it is you’re going through (cause we’re all definitely going through it).
The Darlin’ Garden has values rooted in sustainability, craftsmanship, community, and is proudly AAPI and woman-owned.
