ABOUT // Slow Garden Stories

It started with a garden...


…and a woman who wandered through it daily, camera in hand, capturing the intricate rhythms of the seasons. A place of tranquil solitude, where the mind could rest and the body and soul could find nourishment. A space filled with imperfections – wild edges, tangled stems, and curious colour palettes – yet perfect in its own peculiar way.
This garden, shaped by the ever-changing moods of a Northern European microclimate, became both a sanctuary and a living canvas. In it, the familiar comforts of aging fruit trees, berry shrubs, meadow flowers, and aromatic herbs stand alongside experimental plantings – whimsical combinations of heirloom varieties and self-seeded surprises.
Most images in the Slow Garden Stories library are captured within the fenced borders of this constantly evolving space. The rest – scenes of unfurling tulip bulbs and blooming magnolias, to name a few – come from treasured visits to botanical gardens, places that hold their own quiet kind of magic.

Slow Garden Stories was born from the recognition that the world of stock photography often lacks the feeling, depth, and presence that nature so effortlessly offers – the kind of imagery that engages the senses and tells a story beyond aesthetics.

This photo library was created for growers, makers, and doers. For creators, web and graphic designers, mindful entrepreneurs, and nature-loving brands seeking narrative-supporting visuals that speak not just to the eye, but to the heart.

And yet, everyone is warmly invited to step in, slow down, see, and feel – to let the seasonal scenes whisper their gentle stories.
