My full name is…
Georgia Hilmer.
But my friends call me…
GG.
I grew up…
In a city but now I live in the country.
My bedroom window…
Looks out on the treetops.
I am expecting…
A baby boy in May.
I feel at home…
In the garden with my hands in the dirt.
My favourite place in the world is…
Our cabin in the woods.
You will usually find me…
In a t-shirt and jeans.
Each morning I like to…
Check on the plants.
The perfect evening is…
Outside, barefoot, near a fire.
I find comfort in…
Routine.
The soundtrack to my life is…
Cringey pop in the car alone.
I am where I am today because of…
Chance and love.
I have been craving…
Time outside, warm weather, the start of spring.
Right now I am…
Feeling huge – round and full of potential.
In the future I hope to…
Worry less.
To me, plants are…
A source of wonder and comfort.
My favourite season…
End of summer, start of fall.
Planterdoos is…
A publishing project that celebrates the relationship between people and plants – an excuse to share my love of flowers with others.
I first discovered photography…
As a tool to ask people questions.
A tradition I hope to pass down…
Reading obsessively and often.
What makes me dance…
A happy crowd to get lost in.
What makes me laugh…
My husband.
I am my happiest when…
The whole day lies open and unplanned before me.
I feel safe when…
My ducks are in a row.
The perfect scent is…
A bonfire.
My favourite body part is…
A smiling face.
My favourite snack is…
Ice cream straight from the pint.
I relax when…
I leave my phone in the other room.
I am moved by…
The shifting seasons.
I am hopeful for…
Incremental change.
I am looking forward to…
Meeting the tiny human I’ve been growing these last nine months.
