In 2025, Emma released Sage, her first design-led publication exploring the intersection of gardens, people and plants.
A timeless companion for those drawn to gardening and the beauty of botany, it blends thoughtful storytelling with practical advice, photo essays and creative inspiration for living alongside nature.
Following on from the success of Sage – Vol. 1: Life Among Plants, Emma and the team of editorial, design and horticultural professionals at Sage Journal are now set to release Sage – Vol. 2: Our Creative Nature.
Sage features 190+ pages of gardens and the people behind them, as well as landscapes, growing guides and recipes – all captured with evocative photography.
