SEVEN SISTERS BOTANICALS

​We are a family of farmers, gardeners, naturalists, woodworkers and artists with a mother-and-son team at the core. Surrounded by six biological sisters, brothers, children and grandchildren, our lineage is of Central and West African people, Spanish, Italian and Indigenous peoples of Central and South America. We live on three continents and through marriages our family’s bloodline include Scots, Germans, Cherokees and East Indians. We are the multi-culti. Altogether we carry thousands of years of varied and storied histories and experience, and navigate the world with tonka beans, nutmeg and hot pepper sauce pumping through our veins. 

 

The inspiration for Seven Sisters Botanicals sprang from a desire for a simple, more healthful life and lessons learned from an industrious, resourceful and kind woman named Pearl, who lived in the small town of Rio Claro, Trinidad and Tobago. We grew up following her around the land while she cultivated herbs for cooking and medicine and helped her tend her  beautiful gardens. We observed her in the kitchen as she created wholesome meals, hunted, braided grass and crafted products to enhance the lives of her family and community. Eternally grateful for ancestral knowledge, we practice Pearl’s traditions of making simple and effective plant-based products. Like Pearl we plant, forage, harvest, practice husbandry and food preservation with the cycles of the moon and other lessons from the land. 

 

At Seven Sisters Botanicals we believe in the mental and physical benefits of a simple, herb-filled life, gardening and connections to the land. We thrive in the abundance that nature provides and promote individual self-care and community building through plant and land-based practices and art. Our simple products are crafted with care and based on natural herbal formulas that are healthful and gentle. All are made in small batches from the best quality ingredients and organically grown herbs harvested and sourced by our ecology-mindful team. We are stewards of the land and aspire towards making the world a more beautiful, kind, equitable and just place.     

 

We hope you enjoy our offerings and thank you for being part of our plant and nature-based community.
