what does it mean to tend?

For months now I’ve felt the pull of a changing wind, whispering to me about new and blooming fields. I started Tend during the pandemic, seeking to connect humans to beautiful, pre-loved objects for their homes. Tend represented my own personal wish - for a community that celebrates a soulful approach to creating spaces - for me, this has always meant prioritizing items that already exist in the world, rather than new things, whenever possible.
