About Us

A botanicals and nature online store - Toi Toi Botanicals is a boutique grower of dried herbs, flowers, leaves and seeds, based in Toi Toi, Nelson, New Zealand.

We are a family run business working alongside nature to create a balanced and healthy growing environment so we can offer you a high quality product.

We make our own compost, have a worm farm that produces an amazing natural fertiliser plus we collect a little rain water for our plants as we work towards a larger system. 

We source our organic labeled products from other growers in New Zealand mainly but also from around the world such as Egypt, Morocco, Spain, Serbia, India and China, where we carefully select the highest quality available. 

We are a 'do no harm' business which includes our packaging.  All of our botanicals are packed in cardboard boxes, paper bags with paper tape or in compostable cellulose bags. Items are couriered out in home compostable mailers - we've conducted our own testing to ensure that they are home compostable and that they do break down.

We are an online only business based in Toi Toi, Nelson. Over the summer you'll see us at the Nelson Market where we offer pickups but over the winter months pickups are unavailable.

Our botanical skincare and why we started: 

We've combined our other business (The Loofah Patch) where we use our own grown high quality flower petals and herbs for a range of bath and body products. This is the reason why we started a botanicals business as it was so difficult to source top quality botanical ingredients - dried rose petals should be vibrant colours, calendula petals should be bright orange and yellow and free from leaves or hard seeds and herbs should be freshly dried so they still have their beautiful aroma.

We have slowly expanded our own growing space and grown the overall product range to now include beautiful botanicals from other growers plus a collection of wild-harvested & collected gifts from nature along the way.
