🌸 Hello, I’m Katja — a writer, listener, curator and soul gardener.

Memory Garden was born from a very personal journey.

When my parents returned to Germany in their later years, I began sending my mother eight little questions at a time — simple things like “Where did you go to school?” and “What was your favourite dress?” She would write back, and my two children and I would eagerly wait for her answers. After she passed seven years ago, those letters became priceless — her voice captured in her words forever.

My father, who never liked writing, told his stories aloud. My daughter would record our conversations, full of humour and warmth. He passed away only three months ago, but now we have his voice — his laughter and storytelling — .

It’s through these experiences that I understand how precious it is to preserve someone’s story, their essence, and their love. Memory Garden is my way of helping others create the same lasting gift — a living legacy that continues to bloom for generations.
