Our Story

Located on the picturesque Shoalhaven River escarpment, our specialty garden is a haven for rare and unique botanicals. We are passionate about cultivating plants that inspire, heal, and enchant.

River Rose & Co was born from a love of nature and a desire to share its beauty and benefits with others. Our journey began with a simple idea: to create a space where people could connect with nature's bounty and explore the art of botanicals. Over time, we expanded our garden into an eclectic apothecary farm shop, offering a curated selection of natural products crafted, many of which are crafted from our own botanicals.

Meet Nicky
Nicky, the heart and soul behind River Rose & Co. is a self-taught gardener with a deep passion for plants and natural formulations. In 2012, she studied skincare and cosmetic formulation at the Institute of Personal Care Science, which led to the publication of her skincare recipe book, *The Beauty Mix*. Her curiosity and love for natural fragrances guided her to study Natural Perfumery formulation at the North West School of Aromatic Medicine. River Rose & Co is the culmination of her lifelong learning and dedication to the art of nature.
