ALL ABOUT ME
Hello, I'm Sarah Gardner
I'm a professional photographer, author, artist and all round creative thinker with over 16 years of professional experience.
I live in a former Kiln Keepers cottage in the heart of Buckinghamshire, England. Across the lane from my garden gate are paddocks the Grand Union Canal and a pretty orchard. I have a deep rooted connection with English flowers that's been with me since my childhood. Having now established a garden full of seasonal tulips, roses and meadow flowers I enjoy photographing what I grow. I gain a deep sense of joy from preserving the beauty of flowers in photographic form and sending my work out into the world for others to enjoy.
Established in 2008
