Rooted in nature, bottled with Intention 🍃

04/19/2026

We're hosting something truly magical at The Northside Apothecary House ~ and your little ones are invited.

Join us Saturday, May 2nd for a Bloom Ball craft followed by a screening of an enchanted animated film, right here in the shop.

✦ Craft begins at 6:00 PM
✦ Movie starts at 7:00 PM
✦ Ages 4 & up — older children welcome!
✦ $20 per child — space is limited

Children will handcraft their own wildflower Bloom Balls using natural clay and native wildflower seed blends to take home and toss into their gardens. Then we settle in for a beloved forest film surrounded by herbs, botanicals, and a little wonder.

Sign up in shop, on our sign-up sheet at the register or via DM. A waitlist will be available if the event fills.

The shop will close one hour early that evening at 5:00 PM to prepare. We can't wait to share this with your families. 🌿🌸

This Earth Day, we're launching something we're truly proud of.

Introducing our Mineral Laundry Powder ~ handcrafted in small batches right here in Sturbridge, MA using only four clean, mineral ingredients. No synthetic fragrance. No fillers. No waste.

✦ Pre-packed 30oz bags - $12
✦ Refill station - $0.35/oz
(bring your own container, fill only what you need)

Our refill station is our love letter to less waste. Every jar or tin you bring from home is one less bag in the landfill. We weigh it, you fill it, and you leave with exactly what you need.

Available in shop starting Earth Day ~ Wednesday, April 22nd.

Come in, ask us questions, and celebrate Earth Day the way it was meant to be! 🌍

I am constantly amazed with the experiences that nature provides.

We’ve had this lemon tree for several years and while it’s a labor of love, the payback that it gives us is enormous. Because this is a sub tropical plant, it requires that we bring it in every year to protect it from the frost where it lives on our three season porch throughout the winter.

The reward that we get every spring, aside from the sweetest lemons, is that while waiting for the last frost to occur ~ so that we can get the tree back outside into full sunshine ~ a candy scented aroma fills the air once the blooms start to grow and open.

Another awesome experience? Watching the big pot of my favorite flowers start to bud and bloom into the most luxurious and delicious looking flowers 😍



You cannot convince me that, while fully explained by science, these are not also miracles.

Spring doesn’t arrive. It surfaces. Weeks of microbial negotiations, fungal networks, nematodes and beetles and decomposers doing their vital work…

and then one morning the green just shows up like it was never gone.

Before the bloom, there’s the work, and most of it happens where you’ll never see it. The part you can see is the smallest part. The soil has been busy. Mycelium threading through soil, earthworms turning the dark, bacteria and decomposers doing the unglamorous work of breaking last year down into this year’s foundation.

Spring surfaces, the result of a thousand small creatures doing their jobs in the quiet underneath. The part you can see is always the smallest part. Everything green pushing back through right now is just the announcement of what’s already been happening…

Green coming back isn’t magic — it’s just what happens when a million invisible things do their jobs and do it well.

New look. Better clean. Same values.
Our botanical household cleaner line just got a full refresh ~ stronger formulas that work harder and labels as beautiful as what’s inside.
From everyday surfaces to the bathroom, every bottle is crafted with plant-based ingredients you can actually trust in your home.

An update from the apothecary ~
It looks like illness has made its way through our whole household, so the shop will be closed this weekend while we all rest and recover.
If all goes well, I’m planning to reopen Wednesday, April 8th, and I truly can’t wait to be back.
Thank you so much for your patience and kindness. It means everything to have such a supportive community around this little shop. 🤍

A little note from the apothecary ~

The shop will be closed tomorrow while I tend to a sick little one at home. Mama duties come first! 🤍
I’ll be back open Friday and can’t wait to see you then. Thank you so much for your understanding and support - it means the world.

Today, the Earth doesn’t make resolutions, She simply turns.

The Spring Equinox is the true new year… not one that demands you become someone else overnight, or at all… but one that asks you to consider only this:
what seeds have you been carrying through all of the dark?

This is the moment to plant them, but not with force.
Not with a list of everything you’re not or should be.
Not with stressful promises or bargains made that are meant to inherently fail, no matter your purest of intentions.

Only with intention. With gentleness. With grace and forgiveness.
With the deep knowing that real roots grow slowly, sometimes painfully, and that is the point.
That is where real growth comes from.

At The Northside Apothecary, we only believe in the kind of change that heals and is lasting.

TODAY is the first day of the *real* New Year.
Happy Spring Equinox 🍃

✨ Celebrate fully ✨
