Gardens for soulful rebels
WENDE BRAND
I create gardens that awaken joy, creativity, and connection — for people who bloom a little differently. Whether you're simply curious, longing for beauty or seeking reconnection with the land, my work gently invites you to remember that nature never asks us to fit in. Based in the wild south of Portugal, I offer garden design, intuitive & natural gardening workshops, and offer garden guidance that grows from the heart.
Garden & Landscape Design
Tuning into the soul of your land
​
Some gardens ask for wild edges. Others long to be shaped. Whether your dream is a peaceful place to rest, a vegetable garden to feed your household, or a food forest that supports biodiversity — I listen to both your wishes and the land itself.
​
I work with you to co-create a space that reflects who you are and what your land wants to become. This might mean a gentle restoration of what’s already present, or a bold redesign from the soil up. I design with nature, not against it — seeking beauty, resilience, and joy.
What I offer:
​
-
Tailor-made garden and landscape designs
-
Food forest and edible garden planning
-
Integration of water cycles, shade, scent, and seasonal interest
-
Sketches, planting plans, and practical guidance adapted to your needs
Together, we find a language between you and your land — one that’s alive, changing, and in harmony with your values.
Workshops
Where gardens grow and people bloom
​
My workshops are about more than gardening — they’re about connection. To the land, to ourselves, and to a wider web of life.
​
We explore ecological gardening, food forests, queer ecology, ecofeminism, and indigenous wisdom — all grounded in hands-on experience and the rhythm of the seasons.
​
Each session is intuitive and interactive, blending knowledge with care, creativity, and reciprocity.
​
Workshops are open to all who bloom slightly different or are curious. They take place in my garden or on your land and can be public or tailored to your group.
WHAT I OFFER
Personalized and ecological garden designs that reflect who you are and what your land needs. From food forests to beauty gardens, I design with intention and adaptability.
Group or one-on-one workshops on queer ecology, regenerative gardening, and soul-connected design. And with your hands in the soil. Perfect for communities, initiatives, or curious individuals.
Ongoing support for your garden journey. We walk through your garden together regularly (for a season or a full year) and I offer grounded advice tailored to your needs and rhythm.
Looking for land or wondering what’s possible on your plot? I offer one-time or series-based visits to assess the land’s water, soil, sun, and potential — to help you dream wisely and act intentionally.
OUR LOCATION
Based in the Alentejo Area of Portugal, my focus is primarily on this region. Nevertheless, I enjoy adventure and disregard boundaries. Feel free to drop me a line.
