Write where
you are.
Pollinate your purpose

At Garden Communications Co., we merge agency content strategy with journalism ethics to grow sustainable brand, marketing, and fundraising strategies for purpose-driven leaders and teams.

Grounded in balance, trust, and a love of writing, we are a group of journalists, ghostwriters, developmental editors, and communications leaders who believe creativity and innovation, justice and freedom flourish when we find our words together rather than apart.
Out of the weeds, into the garden

Through a combination of timely and evergreen communications, we nourish your brand or cause by helping you sow some of the toughest—but most effective—groundwork for growing love, trust, and loyalty:
- Executive communications and ghostwriting
- Internal communications and public relations for large teams
- Fundraising and purpose-driven marketing and communications
- High-intent long-form content strategy and design
- Books, manuals, and memoirs

Our Approach
In our work as writers and editors, we see the power of good writing every single day, and we know this: The strongest, most trusted organizations care about communications.
Inspired by the “5Ws and the H” of reporting (who, what, when, where, why, and how), Garden takes a journalist’s approach to the communications process. It helps us keep everything balanced, ethical, and consistent.

Loved by Professional Communicators
The love is mutual. We thrive on supporting our fellow communicators working in a variety of industries.
"Lonna is my first phone call for perspective on how something we create sounds or feels. She also understands exactly what we are trying to accomplish without having to over-explain, and her intuitive nature shows up with every meeting or brainstorming session we have together."
"As the owner of multiple video marketing agencies, when our clients come to us with complex stories or visions, having Lonna in our corner to help clarify those challenges into clear messaging that delivers true impact is worth more than most can understand. We are always looking for ways to add value and to amplify our own clients’ stories. Working with Lonna does just that. Not only is Lonna accurate and prompt, but the creativity to take what’s already there and add texture, contrast, vibrancy and a new way to look at something is truly an enjoyable experience."
