Linden Leaf • Nettle Leaf • Echinacea • Rose Petals
Relaxation • Antioxidant • Skin & Coat • Immunity • Digestion
A soft, leafy Christmas forage inspired by the greenery and natural colours of a traditional festive wreath.
The Forager’s Yuletide Wreath combines gentle linden leaves with nutrient-rich nettle and a touch of echinacea, before being finished with a delicate scattering of rose petals for a naturally festive flash of colour.
Linden forms the main body of the blend, giving it a soft, leafy texture and gentle woodland character. Nettle adds another layer of botanical variety, while echinacea brings a distinctive shape, scent and seasonal-support feel.
Finally, rose petals are lightly scattered throughout the forage, creating little flashes of festive colour without relying on fruit, sugary toppings or artificial decoration.
A Christmas forage designed to look special in the bag while keeping proper botanicals at the heart of the mix. ๐๐ฟ๐น
