It all began as a love affair with plants, a long delve into healing arts, Biodynamics and engagement with the elemental beings in nature. Deeply convinced of agriculture’s critical role in social, economic & cultural life, I wondered was it possible to make an ethical living working with plants from my modest 3 acre farm? Several iterations..growing salad greens; a niche nursery; producing flower essences; and a rest…later, Tender Flower emerged drawing all my interests and skills together.

Now, while I continue to create small batch skin & scent products, the perfumes and incense are seasonally available and skincare access has become a private, long time customer community support based on a *mutually equitable economic structure. This gives me the time to focus on the outdoor and indoor work more freely, relief from perpetual marketing, and more time to offer classes, presentations and formulation work for skin professionals.
