Meet Jen

Hello! I'm the heart behind The Marigold Collective — a folk herbalist, storyteller, and lifelong educator with a passion for seasonal living. I created this space to help others reconnect with the earth through simple plant-based practices, one herbal moment at a time.

​​

With a background in education, I’ve spent years helping others learn, grow, and reconnect — and that same passion guides my herbal work. I come to this path not as a clinical practitioner, but as a folk herbalist and guide. I don’t diagnose, treat, or prescribe. Instead, I share stories, spark curiosity, and pass down the time-honoured ways our ancestors worked with herbs — in the home, the kitchen, and the garden. Everything I offer is for educational and self-care purposes, grounded in the belief that learning is healing, and that deep connection to plants can nourish both body and spirit.

​​​​

I believe in:

• The power of seasonal rhythms

• The wisdom of folk traditions

• Learning as a form of healing

• Herbalism that’s inclusive, ethical, and joy-filled

• Creating space for wonder, play, and reconnection

 

Every workshop and apothecary box is designed to inspire curiosity, creativity, and care — for yourself and for the world around you.
