About Us

Welcome to our website. Please take a moment to read about what inspires our designs. We always welcome your feedback and hope you love our range as much as we do. We are continually designing new clothing, so if you cannot get to one of our markets and don't find anything you like on the website please contact us so we can tell you about what's new.

 Round & round the garden was born out of a combination of reasons….

Some of them were about sustainability and sentimentality. With a growing consciousness about the short life span and sense of excessiveness around children’s products, clothing and lifestyles today, it is important to consider ways to recycle and renew older fabrics. We feel, as do others, that the things of long-ago, fabrics included, seem to have an aged beauty about them and are sometimes of a superior strength to newer fabrics. Some of our fabrics and designs nostalgically conjure up memories of childhood, and offer us a way to incorporate timeless vintage inspired prints and designs that are reminiscent of an era when being a kid often seemed simpler and more carefree. Play was outdoors, free and not time limited, and clothing was durable, and practical. Our website range includes bright, bold colourful tutus, whimsical fairy inspired hanky dresses, cotton vintage inspired dresses and vintage chenille boys and girls clothing. We also do a range of character dress ups, capes, bunting and made to order formal wear. Items made mostly from new fabrics such as our tutus and dress ups, are still easy to keep clean, inspire creative play and delight, and most of all are durable. You can hand these down to upcoming pricesses, fairy's, wizards and superheroes. 

Round & round the garden's fruition was also motivated by more practical and financial reasons in providing a working venture that offers a fun creative way to generate a second income, and to offer hand made, unique, kids clothing at affordable prices. Primarily operated by a mum and a grandmother, who work around the "busyness"  of life outside round and round the garden, to design and showcase our creations.

Sometimes things come together ...such as the above reasons combined with the right timing to begin, so supplying the necessary ingredients to fuel our long time passion to create children’s clothing with a twist.

We are continually inspired by beautiful colour & design, gorgeous fabrics, and mostly by our children and what they and other kids like to wear.  Seeing how children respond to our creations is enough to keep us going.
