Growing up between prairie fields and rainforest mosses, my first lessons were learned by intently watching nature - noticing what others saw as ordinary I met plants as kin. Fleurish Botanicals medicinal offerings are born of these conversations - slow harvests, intentional blending, and crafted with love. Made with locally harvested or organic botanicals and formulated with you in mind, I aim to create therapeutic products that you look forward to taking.
Join us for an immersive, hands-on experience exploring the healing world of medicinal mushrooms. Together, we’ll wander through the forest, connect with the mycelial web beneath our feet, and learn how to respectfully harvest and prepare fungi as potent plant allies for wellness and vitality.
