On the Hunt With Chloe Hurst: Black Blooms & Botanicals
@theg0thgarden’s shares how to source and grow a goth garden at home
By: The Lace Ledger
Chloe Hurst’s garden has the kind of effect that stops you in your tracks; it’s absolutely incredible. The sheer volume of dark blooms, unusual foliage and inky texture feels almost unreal, as though someone brought to life gothic daydream and planted it at full scale.
It’s truly gorgeous. Exceptional, really. For a novice gardener, it is also slightly intimidating. The first reaction is admiration, closely followed by the suspicion that a garden like this belongs to someone with more time, more knowledge and a greenhouse full of secrets.
Chloe is refreshingly practical on that front. Below, she graciously breaks the process down step by step, walking us through bringing to life a goth garden of our own from planning the space, which plants make the best starting point, where to shop and even what fertilizer to reach for once things begin to grow.
So, we asked Chloe to start at the beginning.
Made with Intention: Handcrafted Art for the Gothic Home
From lighting to textile and ceramic vessels, here is a field guide to dark artists whose work shapes atmospheric interiors

Authentic curation is never about completion; it’s about attention, lived experience and the slow accumulation of objects that feel thoughtfully chosen rather then acquired with haste. A gothic home is not assembled through checklists or trends, but, instead, discovered over time, shaped by curiosity, intuition, oddity and the treasure-hunter’s thrill of finding something that’s impossibly right.
You are one of one; your home should feel that way too by allowing the pieces that adorn our spaces to carry the same singularity.
The artists gathered here create work that feels otherworldly without performative spectacle, offering objects that spark delight, reverence and the kind of pause that compel guests to stop mid-sentence.
