I began this shop as a way to educate others about herbs. Studying and using herbs in my everyday life was always a hobby of mine, especially once I had children. I wanted them to learn about the plants that God has given us that have so many purposes and uses. From veggies, bushes, and trees to the simplest parsley, all of God's bounty is here for us.

I teach classes in everything from gardening and preservation of food stuffs, to growing herbs that are easy to use as complementary to any medicinal regime. Plus, even though there are a plethora of soap makers out there, I LOVE to make soap and shampoo bars. Our materials are responsibly sourced and carefully chosen and all of the herbs used I have grown myself.

I believe in a sustainable earth and therefore use only recycled and recyclable containers, as well as offer a return incentive to have your jars sterilized and refilled. I also use sustainable gardening techniques and take care to be a responsible steward of my resources.

The herbs are grown in a rather large property in the middle of a neighborhood in New Jersey, which is, after all, the Garden State. Herbs love the sandy soil and salt air here in Glendora. We get a residual seaside environment from a close by tidal waterway that has a wonderful effect on our growing season. We have a small orchard, a huge garden, and 5 children! Our growing techniques are all organically based, including pest control, and we use herbs as fertilizer too!

So, to sum up...(and thanks for reading this far)...we love to learn, we love to teach, we hope you will reach out and ask questions about our products and our processes. And most of all we hope you will enjoy anything you purchase from us.
