The Mission

Serving home + garden, lifestyle, food and botanical publications with fresh, SEO driven content to increase sales and engagement across all channels.

Writing engaging content that’s fresh, bold and articulate is our first priority. We also provide stunning, all original home & garden and organic food photography to hook your readers and keep them coming back for more.

 
WE BELIEVE
That our homes are our sanctuaries. That our home & garden spaces should give us a daily reprieve from the worries of today. That we should find shelter & a cozy space in a designated “sacred space” with candles, plants & lots of blankets.
We believe in the power of genuine friendship & a home cooked meal with fresh, organic ingredients.
We believe in the power of positive thinking & that our home should be a reflection of that - filled with warmth, joy and serenity.

Heather D. Hawkins

Writer + Photographer + Strategist

I'm Heather D. Hawkins, owner of Culpepper & Company LLC, a Botanical Branding Design Consultancy located on the Emerald Coast of sunny Florida.

I began my writing career in 2000 at the Gulf Herald, a local online newspaper, where I was promoted to Features Editor within six months of starting my job there.

From there I went on to write for The Real Paper, an independent local news & entertainment weekly where I focused my writing on antiques and home gardening.

In 2007 I was hired as a freelance writer at The Pensacola News Journal where I wrote for several publications owned by Gannett, such as Pensacola Home & Garden, Bella magazine for women, Bella Baby and Bella Bride.

I am creative in a wide range of disciplines, including writing, photography, web design, UX/UI, content production, music, and graphic design.

I also produce a digital magazine where I am the publisher, Creative Director, photographer, editor, sales manager, writer, designer, content strategist and social media strategist. I published ten issues over a period of four years from November 2018 to June 2022 with a team of just three people.
