At Henchy Family Gardens, we believe trust grows the same way a garden does — with care, honesty, and patience.
This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how it’s used, and how we protect it, so you can feel comfortable wandering our garden spaces.
Who We Are
Our website address is:

Henchy Family Gardens is a family-grown creative space where stories, gardening wisdom, and seasonal inspiration are shared with heart and intention.
Comments
When you leave a comment, we collect the information shown in the comment form, along with your IP address and browser details. This helps us keep the garden free from spam and unwanted weeds.
An anonymized string created from your email address (called a hash) may be shared with the Gravatar service to display a profile image if you use one.

To help protect our space, we use the Akismet Anti-Spam service by Automattic.
Akismet automatically reviews comments and may collect information such as your IP address, browser details, referrer, site URL, and the content you submit. This helps us identify spam and keep conversations thoughtful and welcoming.
