'not your typical dot.com'
Garden Plum Enterprises was founded by Wendy J. Stevens on October 1st, 2001. With the goal of creating a 'resting spot' for women, and a 'thoughtful spot' for girls, we hope to bring a real experience to users as opposed to yet another flashing, blinking, mass marketed page that makes our brains go numb.

After nearly a decade of working for dot.coms, and confronting women's issues head-on in the man's tech world (she is blonde!), Wendy decided that it was time to utilize the Internet for a 'good' cause. The entire web site is created in an effort to promote positive energy to both women and girls. Wendy has her bachelor's degree in Business Management and has been working in the high tech internet sector for 8 years.

Wendy currently lives in Weare, NH with her husband, son and her chocolate lab Weavie. She enjoys beautiful artwork, reading and collecting fairy tale books, and storytelling. View her on-line portfolio.

Wendy's favorite gp product is 'The Meadow in My Heart'. She refuses to blot pink out of her pallette, it has the perfect amount of femininity in her opinion.
