Sage – Vol. 1: Life among plants

A journal for the garden curious.

Sage is a new annual print publication that celebrates the art of gardening – created with New Zealand and Australian gardeners in mind. Designed as a companion for the garden curious, nature inspired and creatively inclined, each volume explores the intersection of people, plants and place.

This marks the beginning of a growing series.

Sage – Vol. 1: Life Among Plants gathers stories of the many ways we live with plants – from the practical to the poetic. It celebrates creativity in all gardens: the wildly intuitive, carefully composed or slowly evolving.

The inaugural edition is a 190+ page collection of thoughtful storytelling, photography and garden inspiration, made to be collected and revisited for years to come.

Inside, you’ll find:

— 15 gardens and the people behind them
— Practical stories on plants and growing
— Recipes
— Photographic essays

Whether you’re drawn to the beauty of the world around you, just starting your gardening journey or have spent a lifetime in the soil – this one’s a keeper.
