Bristen
is a very small shop me, my garden and my cottage/workshop. Bristen
began with an herb garden I designed and planted which covered most of
my California home's small lot. With an ample supply of herbs to share,
and friends suggesting herb products they would like, "the herb
place" was started. When I moved to Minnesota a few years ago,
I became an avid "grow your own food" supporter, I moved "the
herb place" online and added The
Little Nature Shop.
I
have been an herb and vegetable gardener and herb user for more than thirty
years. I am a Master Gardener in both California and Minnesota and have
taught cooking and gardening classes for many years. I believe herbs are
an important part of our life, and not just as herbal supplements. Nature
and the herbs it provides brings a balance to life that has endured throughout
history. Working with the Community Garden and in my own garden I experiment
with new methods that work with nature to make gardening easier and more
productive for those with physical or time constraints.
I
take pride in making, blending packaging quality
products that come from, add to or are inspired by nature. I enjoy giving
personal and customized service. I value your questions, suggestions,
comments and requests. I hope you enjoy using the things I have made as
much as I enjoy making them.
Mona, The Shopkeeper
