Thoughtful work begins with shared attention.

Olive & Edith welcomes a small number of collaborations that feel naturally connected to the garden: projects rooted in art, books, plants, wildlife, observation, craftsmanship, conservation, home, memory, and the quiet beauty of the natural world.

We are not interested in making the garden louder simply so it can be seen by more people. We are interested in work that gives people a reason to look more closely, understand more deeply, and care more gently.

Ways We May Work Together

Depending on availability and alignment, inquiries may include:

Art licensing for thoughtfully made products
Editorial and publishing illustration
Book covers, interiors, and special editions
Botanical and nature-inspired collections
Surface pattern licensing
Packaging, stationery, paper goods, and home décor
Collaborations with gardens, libraries, museums, conservation groups, publishers, and educational organizations
Select wholesale relationships
Carefully considered creative partnerships
Future garden-centered offerings developed with the Garden Tenderers

This list describes possibilities rather than guaranteed services. Some forms of work may open only when the season, capacity, and project are right.

What We Look For

The strongest collaborations feel like an extension of Olive & Edith rather than a departure from it.

We look for partners who value:

Original art and careful storytelling
Respect for wildlife, gardens, and the natural world
Craftsmanship over speed
Clarity, kindness, and reliable communication
Fair compensation and responsible production
Accessibility and inclusion
Materials and methods chosen with care
A willingness to protect the meaning of the work as it travels

Our quiet question is:

Would this make the garden quieter - or noisier?

Not every good opportunity will be the right opportunity for Olive & Edith. Declining a project does not mean the idea lacks value. It may simply belong in a different garden.

How the Process Begins

Please share:

Your name, organization, and role
A brief description of the project
The artwork, collection, or subject that interests you
Intended products, publication, platform, or use
Estimated quantity or audience
Desired territory and duration, when licensing is involved
Your anticipated timeline
Your available budget or licensing range
Any sustainability, accessibility, or production information relevant to the work

Thoughtful detail helps us understand whether the project belongs here.

Timing and Communication

The Artist’s Workshop is tended in flexible creative hours rather than a rigid corporate schedule. Messages are read and answered with care within 2 - 3 business days.

Complex projects may require additional time for research, sketching, revisions, contracts, production preparation, and rest between stages. Any agreed timeline will be discussed clearly before work begins.

Urgent, speculative, unpaid, or exposure-only requests may not be accepted.
