Botanical Charm's core belief is all about getting people back to gardening, growing your own vegetables too creating an oasis garden from big to small areas. We also believe in bringing the outside in and creating your own oasis inside with indoors plants and we help with selecting natural products for the care of your house plants.

At Botanical Charm we want to inspire you with ideas to get you into gardening outdoors and indoors.

Gardening is for everyone, if you own your own home or if you rent, board, there are solutions (think container planting). You can be creative and create your style of garden. There are many different styles and types, you can think of bringing outdoors in by creating a tropical jungle in pots, or you could ‘grow your own’ outside with a vegetable garden and herb garden or create an oasis in your backyard with tropical jungle or maybe you'd prefer the style of a cottage garden or rock garden or vertical gardening, you can have lush lawns, water fountains or other water features such as a large pond or rock pool, you can add features to attract native birds to your garden or you could choose something low maintenance. Whatever you do the best part of all is to create your own little slice of paradise, a natural retreat after a stressful day of hustle and bustle of everyday life, getting back to nature!

We aim for organic gardening but sometimes the garden or vegetable garden can get away from us, having the option of not organic is a must.

Botanical Charm is more than just a Garden Shop, we also do Lifestyle products, bringing the Botanical Charm philosophy of ‘getting back to nature’ with handpicked natural products to your home with ingredients that are natural, environmentally friendly, cruelty-free and sustainable.

I could not find these types of products in one place which inspired me to create my own range and from this I have curated a selection of products that are hard to find in one spot.

All are cosmetics, skincare, personal care, pet products, candles, home fragrance, household products are cruelty-free.

At the end of the day, I can’t change the world but can make a difference, with what I am stocking.

100% CRUELTY-FREE

Beauty should not cost pain, for good reason beauty product should not be tested on animals, we believe ingredients should be organic/natural/botanical/plant-based and only tested on people.

We ignore brands that say ‘not/doesn’t tested on animals’ this maybe an industry trick to outsource testing to third party, we only stock brands that are cruelty-free to ensure from the start to finished product, have not harming, or killing an animal, from testing ingredients to finished products on live animals.

All are cosmetics, skincare, personal care, pet products, candles, home fragrance, household products are cruelty-free.
