Bringing Garden Beauty Home
Original Art, Curated Antiques, and Reflections from a Secret Sanctuary.
About Jardin & Patina
Original Art. Found Antiques. Stories from a Hidden Home
If you’ve ever longed for a home that feels more like a personal sanctuary than a bland showroom, you’ve arrived at the right place. Welcome. This is a world where the wild beauty of the garden meets the reassuring history of home. Here, you can explore original botanical art, a collection of storied antiques, and the 1922 house and garden where our family lives and makes memories.
We hope to help you find the knowledge and beauty you need to inspire your own curated life. After all, everyone deserves something dreamy.
About Kaja
Gardener, Writer, Artist
For twenty years, I lovingly designed and maintained gardens as Karen. But now my body prefers I spend time in the gentler endeavors of writing and art creation. It’s the work of a more casual, private self, the self of my nickname, Kaja.
So today, as Kaja, I’m bridging these two worlds: sharing my gardening expertise, botanical art, favorite antiques, and stories of home with you. My goal is to help you capture a sense of sanctuary and bring the beauty of a garden into your home.
The Studio
In the quiet of the studio, the living garden is transformed into a lasting legacy. I create original botanical art designed to capture the weathered patina of history and the delicate carving of a single petal. Each piece is a preservation of the natural world, rendered on paper to bring the soul of the sanctuary in your home.
