Botanicals harness the power of plants to promote holistic health and wellness
Nurture Your Body and Deepen Your Connection to Your Innermost Self and Mother Earth
We offer an ever-changing selection of fresh seasonal herbs, edible flowers, seeds, branches, native flowering plants, and other natural and botanical elements for culinary, medicinal, and green magickal practices. Every plant has been grown naturally, peat-free, and without chemicals or pesticides. This ethos stems from the belief that if you produce a plant for natural flavoring, healing, and fragrance, then that plant should be grown naturally.
We offer workshops and guidance on their care to help you on your journey with your new friends.
You will also find a curated selection of soaps, bath products, other herbal creations, and handmade botanical products from local homegrown herbs.
We love what we do, and it shows. Nothing makes it to our store without being sampled and approved by our clinical herbalist, Nora Toomey.
We are Passionate About Living a Non-Toxic Life
What does it mean to be non-toxic? It means to live a healthy, natural lifestyle that excludes harmful chemicals from most aspects of our life: food, self-care, and home.
Chemicals, pollution, radiation, and stressors are killing us. We have lost our natural instincts to reach for nature. People are no longer passing on ways of using nature as medicine. We no longer grow our own foods. Instead, we are reaching for over-the-counter medicines, highly toxic cleaning products, cosmetics poisoning our bodies, and plastic-wrapped, pesticide-filled foods.
We are on a journey to show people how easy it is to live a more holistic life, to connect with yourself and Mother Earth, to listen to what your body needs, and to add a smidge of earth magick to help you live your healthiest life.
At the Creative Cauldron, we acknowledge our ancestors—the wise women who practiced folk medicine and midwifery. Often, these women were spinsters or widows, peasants who needed to work for a living, and lady loners sidelined by society. These women’s deep knowledge of how to grow, prepare, and administer herbal remedies — passed down from parent to child over generations helped women be successful healers.
We honor our ancestors in everything we do.
Garden Magick & Botanical Workshops
Do you crave a deeper connection with the plant world? Perhaps you’re new to herbalism, and you don’t know where to start. Or maybe you’ve been making herbal potions on your own, and you’re ready to study with a teacher. Or perhaps you’re simply looking for community — a group of empowered, grounded, plant-loving women to make mischief with. We focus on doing herbalism — not just memorizing facts.
We engage all our senses as we get to know plant allies as the vibrant and varied beings that they are. From herbal medicine-making workshops to bite-sized offerings, we create the space for you to have your own experience with the plants: up close, intricately crafted, and uniquely personal.
Whether you need the extra oomph to start a project, heal a deep heart wound, or simply get more rest, Plant Allies can help on physical, emotional, and spiritual levels.
We offer meaningful botanical classes and workshops to help bring women closer to Mother Earth. Increasing your understanding of what the natural world can supply opens the door to a healthier lifestyle.
