Hello!

My name is Sara. I'm the founder of Hawthorn & Honey, an herbalism school and herbal product business based in Tacoma, WA. Eight years ago, my family moved to Tacoma from Whidbey Island to be closer to my husband's family. Upon realizing Tacoma lacked an established herbal community, I founded H&H to fill that void with the vision of reconnecting people to the healing power of plants.

The journey began with small-batch herbal products sold at local markets, gaining a loyal following. At the markets, customers would often ask me if I'd be willing to offer classes to share my knowledge, so I began teaching workshops in 2017, quickly evolving to include a year-round herbalism school, the only one of its kind in Washington State.

Now entering its next phase, Hawthorn & Honey is opening the first brick-and-mortar apothecary in the Proctor district of North Tacoma, providing a space for education, community, and high-quality herbal products! The apothecary will be a beautiful space for the local community to gather and share their love for the plants of the PNW! H&H is committed to providing high-quality herbs both wildcrafted and grown by local herb farmers, beautiful handmade crafts from local artisans, along with package free sustainable home and body care. We'll be hosting workshops on a variety of topics including herbalism, foraging, fermenting, and crafting with natural materials.

Tacoma has needed a hub for nature-minded folks to gather for a very long time and I hope you can join me in creating this beautiful space!
