Where the Storylands world lands in your community.
story carriers
"Not every place holds the origin story. Some carry it further, deeper, soulful. That's just as important."
YOUR LOCAL STORY CARRIER
Not every Storylands chapter begins in a garden.
But every great story needs somewhere to travel. Somewhere local. Somewhere trusted. Somewhere a family stops every week without thinking about it.
That's a garden centre. That's a bespoke food maker. That's the lavender farm shop, the honey producer. The herb grower, the seasonal market stall that's been in the same spot for thirty years.
These are the places families already trust. Already visit. Already buy from without needing to be convinced. Right now most of them are carrying products. Not stories.
Storylands changes that.
You don't need to be the origin. You carry the story further.
Chestnut Brae is where it all started. Pingle's Farm is where the characters came alive. A playpark in Ontario is where the sensory chapter begins.
Your garden centre. Your farm shop. Your food market. That's where those stories reach a family who might never make it to Nannup, Ontario or Edinburgh. But they walk through your gate every single weekend. You become the local chapter in a global story world. The place where families grab a Storylands experience. Alongside their lavender, their honey, their bread & donuts, their herbs and their weekend shop.
A character card with every jar. A recipe yarn on a seed packet. A QR code that plays a bedtime story. A seasonal story drop that changes with what's growing. A collectable that starts a trail connecting your place to farms across the atlas.
The story was already travelling. You just gave it somewhere local to land.
WHAT THIS LOOKS LIKE
A Storylands garden and food chapter.
ONE
Seasonal story drops
Every season brings a new Storylands chapter tied to what's growing right now. Spring tulips. Summer honey. Autumn chestnuts. Winter herbs. A new character card, a new audio yarn, a new recipe. Packaged beautifully and available in your space for families to grab and take home. The story changes with the season. So does the reason to come back.
TWO
Grab and go story bundles
A small beautifully packaged bundle sitting at your counter or beside your bestselling product. Inside a character card, a recipe story card and a QR code that plays a Storylands audio yarn on the drive home. No complicated setup. No tech barrier. Just a story a family picks up alongside their purchase and keeps.
THREE
Character cards and collectables
Storylands characters on collectible cards that come with every purchase over a certain value. Chucky. Souci. The Honey Inspectors. Seasonal characters tied to your specific produce. Kids collect them. Families return for the next one. The card is the reason to come back before they've even left.
FOUR
Recipe story cards
Every great food maker has a recipe worth telling. Roasted Chestnuts. A lavender shortbread. A honey from a specific season and a specific set of flowers. Storylands turns those recipes into story cards. Beautifully printed, QR coded to an audio version, designed to live on a kitchen fridge for months. Every time that card gets used the story travels a little further.
FIVE
QR audio experiences
A QR code on your product label, your packaging or your point of sale display. That plays a short Storylands audio yarn when scanned. Thirty seconds. A minute. A tiny story tied to what someone just bought. Where it came from, who made it, what it means. The product becomes a door into the story world.
SIX
Atlas placement
Your garden centre or food maker gets its own entry in The Storylands Atlas. The growing global directory of real places connected by story. Families already in the Storylands world find you. Families who find you discover the wider world. Every new place added brings its own audience and connects it to everyone else already on the map.
“The places people return to are the places that gave them something worth remembering.” Craig W · Storylands · Perth, WA
WHO THIS IS FOR
If your place makes or grows something real. With love. This is for you.
GARDEN CENTRES
Weekly family destinations with deep community trust and the perfect counter, display. Seasonal rhythm for Storylands story drops. You already have the footfall. Now give it somewhere to go. Share the soul & legacy of why you do, what you do.
LAVENDER & HERBS
Scent is the most powerful memory trigger there is. A lavender story card. A herb recipe yarn. A seasonal audio experience tied to what's in bloom right now. Your produce already carries the emotional connection. Storylands gives it a story to match.
Honey Producers
Real honey carries place, season, climate and the truth of the land it came from. The Honey Inspectors, a Storylands chapter, is building the story system for origin honey producers globally. If you produce real honey with a real story, we want to talk.
ARTISAN FOOD
The jam maker, small batch baker. The seasonal market regular. Make something real from something grown. Share your story on collectables, in the audio and into the hands of families who'll carry it home and come back for the next one.
whats coming
The first garden and food chapters are taking shape.
Storylands is developing its first garden centre and food maker story worlds. Early concepts built around lavender, bees, baking, honey, seasonal food and the extraordinary sensory experiences that exist inside every great local food destination.
The places that get in early help set the tone for everything that follows. That's how Chestnut Brae became the origin farm. That's how Pingle's became the proof of concept.
Your garden. Your honey. Your lavender. Your recipe. Could be next.
“If all you offer is product, you become replaceable.” Craig W · Storylands · Perth, WA
