Whether it's handcrafted herbal products made with regionally harvested plants or herbaceous Botanical Bars, we are dedicated to our mission: nourishing our bodies, honoring our planet, and having a little fun along the way.
Glam Gardener NYC is run by a wild plant forager and environmental educator that believes one of the secrets to a life well lived is to be connected with nature.
Glam Gardener has roots in New York City. Born and bred in the borough of Staten Island, we started this business to teach people about locally-growing wild plants. Why? To share the flavors of the forest with others and to encourage our community to explore our local green-spaces.
At the beginning, we led community walks in our local forests to teach others about wild-growing medicinal plants. This led to crafting small-batch remedies with seasonal delights. Like Spicebush berries, Garlic mustard leaves, Sassafras twigs and more. These plants held ancient wisdom, unique flavors, forgotten histories, and wild remedies.
Over the years, Glam Gardener has transformed into a small business offering artisanal herbal products crafted with regionally-harvested, American-grown, and high-quality plants.
We work one-on-one with farmers and harvesters across America. We partner with non-profit, government, and community organizations to host educational initiatives that teach others about plants, gardening, and wildcrafting remedies.
In addition to pre-packaged herbal products designed to be consumed at home, we also host Botanical Bars at festivals and private events. Through our Botanical Bar, we serve one of a kind beverages infused with seasonal herbs.
We run an online shop and attend regional markets across New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, and beyond! We do not have a traditional store front, because we love being on the go.
Whether it’s a Renaissance fair, a Comic Con, an artisanal food festival, or a maker’s market, you bet that we are where the party is!
Although we do not have a traditional storefront, all of our products are currently handcrafted in a certified commercial kitchen. Our kitchen is also a certified gluten-free, dairy-free, soy-free, and GMO-free facility called Starseed Bakery.
Starseed Bakery is a wonderful establishment located in north New Jersey that makes the most decadent baked goods. They are open for business 6 days a week. You can find a select amount of Glam Gardener’s herbal products at Starseed Bakery. Please inquire within to learn which of our products are currently on display.
Glam Gardener is certified by the state of New Jersey to run a safe commercial kitchen operation. Our bottled products are lab-verified for shelf stability and food safety. We handcraft every item with care.
We're committed to running a business that's doing a good thing for the world.
We believe that caring for our body, our planet, and each other are one and the same.
We enjoy connecting with our customers one-on-one and hearing your stories. We are infusing your feedback into our business every step of the way.
Whether you’re local to our region or from a land far-far away, we encourage you to connect with us. Preferably in person, so you can see for yourself what we’ve created. A community around nourishment, plants, and true self care.
We hope you always know that this is a human-run business and we’re just a message away. Thank you for taking the time to read about our story and mission. We hope for you to be a part of it. Take care and welcome to the Glam fam!
