Where Healing Is Cultivated,
One Root at a Time.
Welcome to a sanctuary where ancestral wisdom meets modern holistic health.
Our Story
Rooted in Heritage, Refined by Knowledge
Founder C. Adrian Rodney-Edwards has always been a student of life. Raised in the lush soil of Jamaica and the vibrant streets of Brooklyn, he has been working with herbs for over a decade. Inspired by his grandmother’s legendary shop, Heavenly Juices & Herbs in Queens, NY, he learned early that nature is medicine. His journey later took him to China, deepening his understanding of global holistic balance.
But Adrian knew that true healing requires understanding the whole person. Armed with a Bachelor's degree in Psychology and Sociology, he bridges the gap between ancestral herbalism and modern mental wellness. He realized that health isn't just physical—it is an ecosystem of how we think, feel, and connect.
Today, Life Gardening Tools and Raspitality are classrooms for this vision. We are here to share ancient teachings for modern times, helping you cultivate a resilience that withstands any season—like a tree planted firmly by the water, unmoved by the storms of life.
I believe the mind, body, and heart are gardens, and our words and thoughts are the seeds. I want to teach people the art of personal growth so they can tend their own soil and find a peace that surpasses all understanding.
One Sanctuary, Two Experiences
We believe wellness shouldn't be separated from lifestyle. That's why we created a dual experience: The Apothecary for your medicine, and The Lounge for your nourishment.
