Growth begins within

This space wasn’t crafted to serve a market—it bloomed from lived experience.

Withering Gardens is a sanctuary for reflection, restoration, and remembering. It’s a place where slow, soft technologies grow alongside you, honoring the parts often overlooked.

Our Roots

This didn’t start with answers—

it started with questions.

​

What if being sensitive was a strength?

What if slowing down was an act of power?

What if technology could feel like a friend, not a taskmaster?​

​

Withering Gardens emerged from these inquiries,

from the tension of identities,

and from the desire to create tools that feel like conversations.

​

It’s a garden where your whole self is seen—

not just the productive parts.

The Ecosystem

These aren’t just tools; they’re companions—each born from a need to understand, to connect, to grow.

The Place You Collaborate​

​

For collaborative creation—supporting real-time reflection and shared tasks in teams, classrooms, or events.

The Place You Say It First

​

A full-screen journaling space where you can speak, write, or record without edits. After 24 hours, it reflects back insights to help you grow from your own words.

Who This Garden Is For

This space is for the sensitive ones,

the quiet creatives,

the overthinkers,

the tired teachers,

and anyone who’s been told they’re too much

or not enough.

 

If you’ve ever felt left out or left behind,

you belong here.

Philosophy
Ritual Over Routine

We believe in intentional time. Every reflection is a small ritual.
Our tools slow you down — not speed you up.

People Before Product

Your story matters more than our features. This isn’t extractive tech. It’s relational design.

Emotion is Intelligence

Feelings are data. We help you notice, name, and nurture them.

Manifesto

This is for the overlooked.

​

For those still blooming, even after being ignored.

​

For those whose voices were quieted — but never gone.

​

For those who keep showing up for others, but crave something of their own.

​

We’re not fixing people. We’re listening to them.

​

We’re not pushing productivity. We’re honoring presence.

​

This isn’t just a product. It’s a promise:

​

Your story matters.
You’re allowed to grow slow.
And you’re not alone anymore.

Future: The Evergarden

One day, I imagine a place where all of these gardens connect.
Where every story, every insight, every act of reflection contributes to something larger.

​

Not a social network.
A kinship network.

​

The Evergarden is that dream.
A destination for all of us, when we’re ready.

About the Founder

Hi, I'm Jardine.

I’m a solo founder, youth worker, and designer with roots in the Philippines, Idaho, and San Francisco. I didn’t come from tech. I came from story. From service. From real-life mess and beauty.

​

I’ve worked with kids, delivered food, made films, and learned everything I could from everyone around me.

​

Now I’m learning to code, slowly.

​

This isn’t about me being perfect. It’s about me being present.

​

I’m building this not because I had the credentials — but because I’ve lived the questions.
