Hello, I’m Lydia
Artisan garden gifts, lovingly grown and handcrafted in Sidmouth.
“My main passion for this business is reconnecting people to a relationship with nature & creativity so that they have all the mental health, physical health benefits and excitement of all the fascinating knowledge of our environment which a lot of us have lost as we get caught up in the fast paced way of day to day living.”
This journey started with tending a beautiful, slightly forgotten community garden that had become wild & overgrown. It was originally a medicine garden, and that’s where The Old Medicine Garden takes its name. Spending time alone there reminded me how grounding it is to step away from the rush of modern life, work with our hands & simply be in wild places. That’s exactly why I wanted to create a space for others to enjoy it too.
We’re a proud sister business to our family-run Garden & Estate Services, serving our community for 15 years.
Handcrafted garden gifts, homegrown plants & nature-based workshops, with foraging & deep respect for our local countryside at their very core. After trialling some winter wreath-making kits last year, and being completely blown away by the local support, I knew it was time to take the leap!
Be the first to hear about new workshops, plus seasonal jobs, recipes & kits as they’re ready.
