About The Garden Journey
In their respective metiers of botanical illustration (Joanne Yun) and design/creative direction (Natalie Soud), the creators of The Garden Journey share a love for creative work that is grounded in intuition and animated by a transportive, evocative sense of beauty. A happy hour meet-up in the spring of 2019 sowed the first seeds of what would become The Garden Journey. Collaborating remotely throughout 2020 and 2021, Joanne painted the collection of 22 illustrations that form the core of the tarot deck, and Natalie dreamed up the evocative palette and aesthetic of each card. Inspired by sources as diverse as French confectionery packaging, Pre-Raphaelite watercolors, and Gucci’s Garden Collection, The Garden Journey represents the debut of the duo’s mission: to create objects of beauty that help people experience nature’s mysteries as a portal to reconnection with themselves.
