Explore. Create. Bloom.
Welcome!
Hi there! I’m Nina—a long-time forager, explorer, plant lover & art maker living in the beautiful Blue Ridge mountains of NC. For as long as I can remember, I’ve been in love with the botanic world. Truth be told, I’m kind of plant-obsessed. I love growing plants & flowers, making art about them, and even using them for teas and healing. So, if you like plants, you’re in the right place!
Flora+Forage
Here at Blue Ridge Botanic, you’ll find information about flowers, folklore, foraging and more. I also offer a bimonthly substack called, Flora+Forage, which is kind of like a blog and a newsletter combined. It’s where I share plant identification tips, tutorials, and recipes on everything from wild foraged ink to wildflower tea.
So grab your hiking boots and follow along I explore the wild places and plants that inform my work and my art.
I hope you like what you see and that it inspires and motivates you to connect to the botanical world in a more joyful, creative ways.

Conservation Matters
As a former environmental educator, conservation has always been core value. So, I have a ‘give back’ policy here at Blue Ridge Botanic. A portion of the proceeds collected in my shop will go to support the work of United Plant Savers.
