Our Roots
Bridger's Botanics bloomed out of Full Moon Blooms, a floral business that launched in 2020. Working closely with the soil and the weeds that appear without fail, her approach and perspective shifted. She learned that weeds appear where they are needed. Instead of loathing the weeds, she began to befriend them, discovering that they all carry an abundance of nutrients, wisdom, and medicine.
In 2022, her son was dealing with persistent ear infections. She was on a mission to heal her family naturally without the use of over-the-counter antibiotics. The power of plants was unmistakably clear, which led her to create Bridger's Botanics.
What are Botanics?
Dating back to the 1650s, the word botanics refers to any plant matter used as medicine. Apothecaries, brimming with botanics, provided our first medicines. The transition of local apothecaries to modern pharmacies arose out of the Industrial Revolution in the 1800s. At Bridger's Botanics, leaning into the old ways before modernization is a way of life. We find authentic joy and vitality in working with our first ancestors—the plants—as a primary way to support the body.
Plants as Ancestors
A gardener of life, tending to all the living beings in her realm, Bridger believes the plants are our first earthly ancestors. Holding sacred and ancient knowledge, they empower and inspire us to return wholly to ourselves, to the home residing within each and every one of us. She forages locally and seasonally to support her family and community. She is an eternal student of nature and those who came before her. By anchoring into the present with knowledge and wisdom from the past, we build a more connected future. Forging relationships between the people and the plants, the old and the new, Bridger's Botanics is here to share space and pass along her collected wisdom gained from walking the plant path.
