Our Philosophy
Sage started from a passion for green spaces and an interest in how a garden can be an extension of the home. A love of outdoor “rooms” and extra spaces to dwell, gather, play and create — gardens as a work of art, and a means for creativity.
We write to foster a reweaving of the planet and its people. Including stories on a range of themes: art and science; people; eating and making; exploring, living and growing.

FOUNDER / EDITOR
Emma Sage
Emma is a Hawke’s Bay based writer, mum and gardener. She started Sage — an online magazine for the garden-curious – when she couldn’t find the gardening inspiration and education she was looking for: real gardens, and down-to-earth people in everyday places.
The journal is a place of landscape design and garden inspiration, sharing stories of people and places found within the green spaces of Aotearoa, New Zealand and beyond. Emma has also written feature articles for magazines like NZ House & Garden, Good Magazine and more.
