Nettlejuice Gardens

​​Serious about Protecting Plant Allies

April Coburn of Nettlejuice Herbals works with the earth to mindfully ​sustain indigenous plant medicine.  April’s gardens are currently a part of the United Plant Savers Sanctuary Garden Network. At-risk and endangered medicinal plants are grown and protected in this space. Half of the garden is also devoted to wild space as an Act of Restorative Kindness in a united effort with the We Are the Ark movement, which seeks to return half the earth's landscape to regenerated wildlands.  Nettlejuice Hollow is now part of the United Plant Savers botanical sanctuary network.

Nettlejuice Herbals

April Coburn crafts sustainable, quality plant medicine for her community.  She grows many of the plants she uses in her medicine here, in her gardens, chemical-free.  What she cannot grow, she either sources from local organic herb farms, sustainable wildcrafting sources, or high-quality organic sources.  April Coburn's medicine is made in small batches with attention to quality.
