The Meaning Behind Black Creek

The Lily of the Valley–the symbol chosen to represent Black Creek Botanicals–is my birth flower. I have a vivid memory of being very young and my grandmother teaching me its song.

Black Creek was the gentle waterway that flowed through the land beyond our house. There was a little offshoot of this creek that we called “Savannah’s Stream.” It was a swampy little thing. A little pool would swell in the wet months after the snow melted, and work its way downhill to feed into Black Creek.

I chose this name to honor my roots, to honor that land that nourished and raised me and continues to inspire gratitude and creativity, and as a reminder and hope that my small, swampy creative well will overflow, feeding into a larger and larger collective, nourishing the land, cycling endlessly in subtle, significant ways.

These early experiences are a part of the foundation that continues to shape the philosophy behind my work. Read more about the values and vision behind Black Creek Botanicals

My dear friend Amy of Strange Pine, a wonderful artist, designer, and intuitive-creative, was able to take all of my stories and feelings and visions and concentrate them into my beautiful logo & label designs.
