Our Story

A lifelong study of botany and sustainable practices built a passion in me for herbalism, gardening, and handcrafting skills.  Eventually, this passion lead me to provide food, medicine, and functional products for my family.  As my productivity and quality grew my friends and family began to make special requests to meet their specific needs.  It became clear that my personal relationship with the materials and the process of creating provided so much more than a functional product to meet a person's needs. It also provided a direct connection with the richness of the raw materials, empowering a higher vibrational experience for all.  Overwhelmed by gratitude and appreciation for their satisfaction with my products, in 2020 I decided to offer Best Herbals to the community.  Building on this organic relationship with nature's finest materials, Best Herbals, continues to develop, refine, and provide uniquely rich products with a sincere dedication to their efficacy, source, and beauty.

Bayside Botanicals is an organic nursery personally built from the ground up!  I have dedicated my life to sourcing and cultivating herbs, shrubs, and trees which provide the most medicinal, nutritious, and visually splendid benefits.  All of my plants are grown organically, using no-till and integrated pest management techniques, ensuring that my local botanical environment is rich in beneficial organisms above and below ground.  My annual plants (herbs and vegetable starts) are grown from seed to seed allowing my genetic stock to improve from season to season increasing each individual plant's chances for success!  My perennial shrubs are well established and overwinter here in Bayside providing robust cuttings which will surely become elegant landscape features for your home providing benefits for years to come.  At Bayside Botanicals we cultivate a wide variety of California native herbs and shrubs providing drought tolerant and maintenance-free ecosystems harboring beneficial bees, butterflies, hummingbirds, and other local native wildlife.
