There’s a lot of care that goes into this space, and sometimes it shows up in quiet, living ways. 🌱 Hi its Cheryl and I love plants (especially my shop assistant, 🪴 Harriet)

When we first moved into this brick-and-mortar shop (Aug 2023), Harriet came with from our first location on River St as a small plant. Just a few leaves but plenty of promise for a Hairy "Red Bristle" Philodendron.

Over the years, with steady light, consistent care, and room to grow, she’s (we've?) done exactly that. Harriet has climbed all the way toward the ceiling and blooms regularly.

I feel a lot of kinship with that, especially in this gentle stretch between Christmas and the New Year. A time to reflect and see just how far we've come.

This quiet time doesn’t ask us to reinvent ourselves. It invites us to settle, tend and trust what’s already unfolding. And that's how we are approaching 2026... a trust in the process, a knowing we will continue to grow in new ways beyond anything I could dream myself.

Stop in for plant talk, warm sips and a calm place to land for a bit, we’d love to see you.

We’re open today (Sunday) from 10–4, and we’re also shipping orders out for those shopping from afar. By the way, we are closed on Thurs Jan 1.

The gatherings are over, the noise has settled, and many people feel a mix of relief (maybe exhaustion plus tenderness 💗🙏🏽) December 26 is a quiet day.

👉🏽 Today is a good day for warmth, hydration, gentle support, and doing less than you think you “should.” If your body feels heavy, nervous system stretched thin or feels off... nothing is wrong. Most likely, it is a normal response after a full season.

If you need rest-focused support, pain relief or simply a calm place to land. No urgency. No pressure... stop by the shop.

📍We are open today Fri 10-6 | Sat 8-4 | Sun 10-4
🕸️Or find us online with lots of tips and insights in our blog.

We are here for you.
xoxo, Urban Apothecary

🌟 This past Friday at the VSW .batavia Holiday Party, Emily and I were deeply honored to receive a special recognition. Emily the Pathfinder Award and me, the Beacon Award.

This recognition means more to me than any other recognition or achievement I’ve received over the years. And I want to share why. 🥰 Hi its Cheryl 💙

About a year and a half ago, we began working with VSW in Batavia, starting with packaging and labeling support at the workshop. That’s when I met Emily and what began as a working relationship quickly became a friendship. Her smile, warmth and hugs are contagious.

About a year ago, Emily took a big step, her first job outside of the sheltered workshop, working two hours on Fridays with us.

🙏🏽 Today, she’s with us two days a week (Thursdays & Fridays), helping customers, packaging dog treats, gummies, and supporting so many parts of our daily operations.

Watching Emily grow, gaining confidence, learning new skills, building relationships, and truly blossoming in our community has been the greatest gifts to me.

VSW does incredible work supporting adults with cognitive and intellectual disabilities through meaningful employment, skill development, and social inclusion.

They create spaces where people are seen, valued, and empowered and where community truly shows up for one another.

❤️🌟🥰🙏🏽 This award isn’t about us alone. It’s about what’s possible when we choose inclusion, patience and partnership.

Thank you, VSW, for the work you do and for honoring us in this way. We’re grateful to walk this path together. 💙

✨ Community matters. People matter. ✨

🌑 Winter Solstice at Urban Apothecary, preparing for the longest night. A quiet turning point back toward longer days 🌟 A time to pause, reflect and honor what has carried us through.

🎀 This season, our shop has been filled with meaningful conversations, shared stories, and those beautiful, unexpected moments of connection that remind us why community matters so much. ✨

If you’re feeling called to slow down, reset or simply be held by warm, grounding energy, we’re here. 🙏🏽 No rush. No fixing. Just presence.

🕯 Open today til 4pm (Sun Dec 21)
🕯 Special hours Wednesday: Noon–4pm

Winter invites us inward, toward rest, ritual and intention. We are so grateful for your support all these years. Cheers 🥂

🌿 Elderberry Season, Made Simple. It's the time of year. Supporting and protecting your immune system is more important than ever. (makes a nice hostess gift, too)

Our Elderberry Syrup Kits make it easy to create a small-batch syrup at home using time-honored botanicals thoughtfully paired with local raw honey from Nomia Meadows Farm, where bees forage on 180+ acres of prairie flowers and apple orchards right here in Northern Illinois. 🍎🌾🐝

✨ Why we love this pairing
• Elderberry, ginger, cinnamon & cloves: a classic herbal combination for seasonal wellness
• Raw, local honey: minimally processed and rich in natural enzymes
• A hands-on kitchen ritual that invites presence and care

🍯 Simple Elderberry Syrup - condensed recipe

1️⃣ Simmer the herbs from the kit in water for 30–45 minutes
2️⃣ Strain and let cool slightly
3️⃣ Stir in raw honey to taste
4️⃣ Store in the fridge and enjoy as part of your daily routine
(full instructions are included on package)

Find Elderberry Syrup Kits, honey and many other immune supporting herbs and mushrooms online or in our Batavia shop (open 10-6 Thurs & Fri, 8-4 Sat, 10-4 Sun)
We ship nationwide, and we’re always happy to help you choose immune-boosting and other wellness products for yourself or the perfect intention gift.

🎍 I’ve been thinking about how we gather, the foods we serve, the intentional cozy touches, the love we want to show through our time with loved ones during the holiday season. Hi its Cheryl. :)

We just shared a blog on the website about elevating your holiday table with nourishing food and intentional herbal beverages... healthy and meaningful offerings to consider.

👉🏽 One small but meaningful shift we’re making this season is moving away from the word “mocktail” as it still centers alcohol as the norm, and everything else as the alternative.

We’re shifting that narrative. Herbal and botanical beverages aren’t stand-ins. They’re not missing anything - in fact, they are much more than traditional alcohol beverages could ever be: healthy, intentional, and good for you... crafted to support connection, calm, health, vitality, presence, and so much more.

In the blog, we share:
• Ideas for nourishing holiday dishes
• Botanical beverage recipes
• Ways to create inclusive, intentional gatherings
• Gentle plant wisdom for the season

👉 Read the blog: Elevate Your Holiday Table (Link in bio)

Here’s to gathering with care, choosing language that honors choice, and creating rituals that truly nourish... body, mind, and spirit. 🌿
