About Carla
Hi, I'm Carla β herbalist, forager and founder of Wild Willows. I've spent over a decade learning from the plants of the Burren and beyond, and I'm passionate about making plant medicine accessible, joyful and deeply nourishing.
Every product in the apothecary is made by hand in small batches using plants I've grown, foraged or sourced from trusted growers here in Ireland.
