A LIFESTYLE ARCHIVE FOR BLACK WOMEN WHO ARE CULTIVATING HOME, CREATIVITY, AND LEGACY
In search of our Garden
Inspired by the wisdom of our mothers and grandmothers, In Search of Our Garden explores how Black women cultivate beautiful lives through home, creativity, ritual, and inheritance. This is a space for tending the gardens of our lives.
In Search of Our Garden is rooted at the reclaimed estate of Eunice Alma Harris Malone, the great grandmother of our founder Andrea Fenise, through a spiritual inheritance. It is a thoughtfully curated collection of archival material, creative work, and a living garden, this repository honors the generations who came before us, offering a sanctuary for connection, healing, education, and creativity.
The garden itself serves as a way to steward and honor nature and a symbolic representation of roots, growth, and beauty, while the archival materials and atelier provide an entryway to the ways, life, and triumphs that have shaped us.

In Search of Our Mothers’ Gardens, Alice Walker wrote about the quiet creativity of Black women—women who cultivated beauty, care, and meaning in everyday life even when their talents were rarely recognized as art.
They created gardens.
Not only gardens of land, but gardens of life: homes filled with memory, meals shared across generations, traditions passed down through hands and stories.
In Search of Our Garden is inspired by that spirit.
It is a lifestyle archive for Black women who are cultivating meaningful lives rooted in creativity, home, and legacy.
