Marketing as Gardening: A 5-step Approach to Growing Your Herbal Services

  • 7247 N. Coolville Ridge Rd. (map)
  • Google Calendar ICS

How are you feeling about your marketing reach these days? Do you feel like giving up or are you overwhelmed? Would you prefer to be in your garden instead?

We believe and have experienced that marketing doesn’t have to be gross. It doesn’t have to be anxiety-producing. It doesn’t have to be predatory. And it certainly doesn’t need to be shame-inducing…for anyone. In fact, marketing is very much like gardening and playing with plants - but before we can harvest from the herb garden of our dreams, we need to cultivate it.

Join herbalist business maven Brooke as she breaks down core principles of marketing in a way that herbalists understand…through the lens of working in the garden.

Plants, Planets & Psyche with Ritual Botanica

Calling upon planetary and zodiac archetypes to illuminate the healing qualities of plants is a practice that spans generations and cultures. In the Western European tradition, it is an aspect of the larger approach to healing known as Medical Astrology. Each planet harnesses its own characteristics; as depicted by the adage ‘As Above, So Below’, these characteristics also manifest in the human body and psyche as well as in the plant kingdom. In this regard, studying the planetary associations of healing herbs and aromas can provide an excellent framework for navigating the complexities of choosing which herbal and aromatic tools to use in support of body, psyche, & spirit.
