Our Origin
I didn’t build this because I had all the answers. I built this because I had questions.
​
Because I saw kids who didn’t know how to talk about what they were feeling. Adults too.
​
Because I kept meeting people who were brilliant, kind, imaginative — but always told they weren’t enough.
​
Withering Gardens is for them. For us.
​
A garden where we reflect, slowly.
A space that sees your whole self — not just the productive parts.
​
I’m building tools that feel like conversations, not transactions.
This is my garden. Yours might look different. But you’re welcome here.

The Ecosystem
These aren’t apps. They’re companions. Each one with a role, a rhythm, a reason.

The Place You Shape It​
​
Once the words are ready, Storyteller helps you organize, clarify, and share. It preserves your raw voice while supporting structure.
​
Highlight, reflect, and build an archive of your becoming.

The Place You Collaborate​
​
For when it’s time to build with others. First Mate supports co-creation, real-time reflection, and organizing shared tasks — whether in a team, classroom, or temporary event.
​
Choose your mode. Lead your garden.

The Place You Say It First
​
A full-screen journaling companion.
You speak. You write. You record. No edits. No backspace. Just truth, as it comes.
​
After 24 hours, Confessor reflects back with insights, themes, and seeds to grow from.

The Place You Remember​
​
A long-term companion that maps your reflections.
It brings together your ideas, decisions, and seeds across time — helping you notice your own patterns, growth, and questions.

For Whom This Garden Grows
We made this for the sensitive ones, the kids with big feelings, the grown-ups who were never taught how, the overthinkers, the quiet creatives, the tired teachers, the ones who are “too much”.
​
If you’ve ever felt left out, left behind, or told to be someone else — 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.
