IN SEARCH OF WAYS TO BE MORE NATURALLY AND CULTURALLY REFINED
In Search of Our Garden was created to be a digital space to share how women like our founder Andrea Fenise, embraced a simple and harmonious lifestyle.
In Search of Our Garden was birthed during a very self-reflective growth journey to discover the woman I have always dreamed of becoming. I knew there was a need to redefine modern living but also root myself in the traditions of the woman before me and their ways. Those ways gave life and a new meaning to what it means to live creatively and well.
The women I speak of like my mother, grandmother, and great-grandmothers inspired me to be creative and resourceful and use things like flowers and herbs to enhance my health and beauty.
As an evolved woman, I have crafted their ways into a lifestyle that will inspire other women who look like me to reconnect and restore to the continuous search of our own garden.
