Hi, I’m Larissa — a clinical herbalist and Florida garden educator based in Central Florida.
For years I worked as a kitchen garden consultant, helping clients design and build beautiful, productive gardens. What I noticed over and over again was this: most garden problems weren’t really about planting techniques — they were about soil health, environmental stress, and biological balance.
That realization gradually changed my work.
Instead of focusing only on designing gardens, I began focusing on supporting the living systems that make gardens succeed in the first place — soil microbes, plant resilience, and natural plant relationships. My background in herbalism naturally grew into creating small-batch botanical preparations that help restore balance after drought, heat, pests, and everyday environmental stress.
Today my work centers on crafting practical herbal solutions for gardens, pets, and people — products designed specifically for Florida conditions and real-world use. Everything I make comes from the same philosophy I taught in my consulting years: when you support the ecosystem, care becomes simpler.
I still share gardening guidance and education, but my main focus now is creating practical plant-based products that support healthy soil, resilient plants, and everyday care for pets and people — especially in Florida’s challenging conditions.
Instead of constantly correcting problems after they appear, I help people support balance from the start — whether that’s a struggling plant, dry, cracked dog paw pads, or everyday skin care.
