Experience Vibrant Health

Through the healing power of plants

We’re a woman-owned & women-run apothecary here to help you experience radiant well-being with herbal medicine.

Because learning to use plants for healing can be mind-boggling, we’re here to guide you through the garden.

Our staff of certified clinical herbalists are here to support you as a whole person–not a collection of labels and pathologies. 

We offer private consultations and craft custom formulas suited to your unique needs because we believe there’s no one-size-fits-all approach when it comes to health. 

Come visit us to explore our extensive apothecary of organic and/or locally-sourced dried herbs, extracts, and oils to reclaim a healthier you.

  • “When I walked into the Elderberry three years ago, I didn’t realize I was making one of the best decisions for myself, my health and well-being.  Working with Jan and Heather has been an experience I truly treasure.  I am thankful that I decided to put my trust in their knowledge and expertise and embark on the journey to better health and healing with herbs.  For me, it has been a process of trials and adjustments and that has not been easy at times because I can fall into the “I want it fixed right now” mentality.  However, as a result of their gentle guidance and perseverance, I have been lucky enough to experience the healing power of herbs….”
