The Herb Shack

The Herb Shack I specialize in growing culinary & medicinal herb plants and unique & unusual succulent plants. I se My herbal sundries include soaps, salves, and salts.

In 2005 I formed a backyard greenhouse business called "The Herb Shack". I grow a wide variety of culinary and medicinal herb plants from around the world that cannot be found in mass market stores. The Herb Shack offers premium herb starts grown without the use of synthetic fertilizers, pesticides, or herbicides of any kind, making it healthier for us and the environment. I use biological control

s (Integrated Pest Management) and USDA Certified Organic products only. I nourish microbial balance in the soil using some biodynamic principles and compost teas. I purchase high quality seeds that are certified organic or heirloom seeds that have not been treated nor genetically modified. My plants are for sale seasonally at the Douglass Loop Farmers Market in Louisville, April-August. As an outgrowth of the greenhouse business, I began studying and experimenting with the use of herb plants. Using my knowledge of plants and botanicals I created herbal sundries that are nourishing to the skin. These products use all natural ingredients and 100% pure essential oils - no synthetic fragrances. These are made fresh in small batches by hand using my home grown herbs when possible. I hope that you will enjoy my products and their uniqueness- compliments of Mother Nature!

🌿 Grow Your Own Smudging Herbs 🌿
White Sage, Western Mugwort, and Sweetgrass — three powerful plants traditionally used for cleansing and spiritual practices.

✨ White Sage: Known for purifying energy and space. Burn the dried leaves and let the smoke wash over people, objects, or rooms.
🌙 Western Mugwort (Artemisia ludoviciana): Used for protection and enhancing dreams. Often burned before sleep or ritual work.
🌾 Sweetgrass: Braided and burned to invite in peace, harmony, and positive energy. It’s sweet-smelling and gentle.

🌱 Come see us on Saturdays 10-2. We grow these from seed, not wild harvested.

🕊️ Connect with tradition. Grow with intention. Smudge with care.

To our loyal customers we just wanted to apologize for not being at the market Saturday. The last notification we received was around midnight that the market would be closed and then we saw the DLoop FB post at 5am stating the same. We immediately switched to plan B and set up out here only to find out later that in fact the market was on. No blame here on the DLoop staff, we know they had their hands full dealing with this huge curve ball 😂. Just wanted to say that we were fully loaded and ready to roll Sat morning and we didn’t just bail out. If anyone needs anything from us just ask and we can accommodate!!! Thanks and have a great Sunday. We get to plant our garden today 🌱🌱🌱🙏🙏🙏🪏🪏
