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.

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.
