✨ Hi, friends! If you’re new here, welcome. And if you’ve been around for a while, I’m so glad you’re still here.

Life has been full these past few weeks, and I’ve been spending more time behind the scenes than on social media. But I’ve been creating, planning, and dreaming up some exciting things that I can’t wait to share with you.

If we haven’t met yet, I’m Gabriella the heart behind this business. I create herbal products and experiences that help people reconnect with the wisdom of nature and feel more at home in their bodies and everyday lives.

I’m so excited for what’s ahead. Over the next few weeks I’ll be sharing:
🌿 New herbal creations
🍂 Fall workshops
✨ A special event coming in October
💛 And a seasonal summer herbal drink I’ve been working on that I think you’re going to love.

Thank you for being here. Whether you’ve been following since the beginning or just found this page today, I’m so grateful you’re part of this community!

What a wonderful way to kick off our first workshop at The Grove.

We had a great turnout, shared herbal iced tea, explored the history and traditional uses of mullein, discussed some of its medicinal properties, and walked through the tincture-making process step by step. Everyone left with their own mullein tincture, instructions for finishing it at home, and a dropper bottle for when it’s ready to use.

Seeing people gather around, ask questions, share experiences, and learn something new reinforced something I shared during the workshop: curiosity is really all you need to begin. You don’t need to know everything before you start. You don’t need years of experience. You just need enough curiosity to take the first step and see where it leads.

Five years ago, I started down the path of herbalism with that same curiosity. Since then, it’s brought knowledge, experiences, and connections into my life that I never could have anticipated.

I can already see how much this space can grow and become a place where people come together to learn, create, ask questions, and have meaningful conversations.

Thank you to everyone who spent part of their Saturday with us. I’m looking forward to many more workshops to come!

Good morning, friends! 🌿

The mullein is harvested, the jars are ready, and it looks like we’re getting lucky with the weather today. If the rain decides to make an appearance, no worries! We have a covered space and will be just fine.

I’m looking forward to welcoming everyone to The Grove, sharing a little about mullein’s history and traditional uses, and walking through the basics of tincture making together. It’s going to be a wonderful day of learning, creating, and gathering.

See y’all soon! 💚

There’s something really grounding about learning herbs hands-on. Slowing down, making something yourself, and understanding the traditions behind it.

At this workshop, we’ll walk through the tincture-making process together, explore the history and traditional uses of mullein, and each guest will create their own tincture to take home.

The goal is to make herbalism feel approachable, practical, and welcoming in a relaxed setting at The Grove.

You can secure your spot by sending payment via Venmo:
-King-07

I’ll also be at the Tallapoosa Farmers Market on May 25th and can accept cash or card there as well.

So excited to gather, learn, and explore mullein together in The Observatory’s first-ever workshop. 🌿

I’m hosting a small, hands-on workshop here on the farm on May 30th🌿

We’ll be working with mullein and learning the foundations of tincture making—walking through the process step by step and creating one together.

We’ll also spend time getting to know the plant itself and how it’s been traditionally used.

Held at The Grove, our family farm, in a relaxed barn setting.

You’ll leave with your own tincture, simple instructions for completing the process at home, and a dropper bottle to transfer it once it’s ready for use.

$30 per person
Limited to 12 spots

If you’ve been curious about working with herbs, this is a really easy place to start!
