Hello and welcome to the little world of The Cottage Herbalist.

​

I’m Caroline - a degree qualified herbalist, gardener, forager and author of internationally released book 'The Medicinal Garden'.

​

I’m endlessly inspired by cups of tea, digging in the dirt, growing beautiful herbs and flowers, and foraging for wild weeds and herbs to turn into nourishing food and practical medicine. I love sharing what I’ve learned through hands on workshops that make herbal knowledge simple, joyful, and part of everyday life.

​

My small home based studio, tucked away in the cool and misty Wombat Forest (Dja dja Wurrung & Wadawurrung Country in Central Highlands of Victoria), is where I hand blend my award winning teas and tisanes. Each batch is handcrafted using certified organic tea, flowers, and herbs, along with seasonally wildcrafted or homegrown botanicals. I think they’re beautiful, thoughtful blends, and I hope you do too.

​

When I’m not in the studio, you’ll find me outside in my own Medicinal Garden - sowing seeds, picking flowers, building garden beds, turning compost, chatting to plants, cloud watching and zipping around on the ride-on mower.

​

I’m also part of the gardening teams at Acre of Roses and Trentham Estate here in Central Victoria, where I work alongside others who share a love of beauty, seasonal living, and tending to the land with care.

​

I can’t wait to send a little parcel of The Cottage Herbalist tea your way, or welcome you to a workshop sometime soon.
