Change ourselves

Be the Creator of the life You find worth getting up for every morning! 😊

The story

The Compassionate Gardener was created during a horticulture course in Ireland back in 2015.


The idea for the name “The Compassionate Gardener” emerged during an intensive growing time in the caring and gardening field. It was a time of minding the life of our most vulnerable beings (children, people with disabilities, the elderly, animals and plants).

Everyone needs a safe space to create and retreat to, simply to feel joyful with what is to be able to cultivate an inner meditative balance of peace.

I am DD, a compassionate gardening Writer, Life purpose coach, Reiki master, and Horticultural Therapist that enjoys inspiring people to Be the Change they like to see and feel in themselves.

Thanks to the wonderful support of idotj, Kashmir Birk (Co-Founder at The True North) and Cyrille Gilbert, the vision of “The Compassionate Gardener” could be realized and is about to blossom from just a dream into a reality.

The first steps for an online community were once laid in Facebook, where they left inspiring feedback. The page had more than 1.000 members until it was time to leave and spread the wings to focus on what truly matters in the here and Now.

Planting the seeds of compassion, joy and mercy through any form of Art wherever, whoever is in need of Self-growth.


Where there is love and inspiration, I don’t think you can go wrong.

My first book “Being Eclipsed – Women under ‘Care’ of the Patriarchy” is finally published and available in English and German.

My 2nd book will be a memoir. A journey into understanding what and who made and shaped me to be the One I am today.

Let’s see what will come up after that. Perhaps I am already musing with poetry… Shall we?!
