Hi, I’m Sallie. My love of herbs began in my childhood, growing up in the hills of Southeastern Ohio Appalachia. Many days were spent alongside my mom, foraging and learning about the wild plants around us and their many uses.

In 2011 my family bought our first home in Lancaster, where our property has a creek that winds along two sides of the backyard. My husband hung a hammock between two trees where the creek forks, and it quickly became my favorite place to escape the noise of life, soak in nature, and spend time with God. The creek has given me countless memories: rock hunting with my kids, skipping stones, and watching the dogs splash around. To me, that little creek is a place of peace and joy, which is how the name Little Creek Tea Garden came to be.

Recently, I’ve planted a garden filled with herbs grown without pesticides, and I’ve learned how to create my own blends. Each tea and product is thoughtfully crafted not only to taste wonderful, but also to support the body and mind. Of all the interests I have had, Herbalism is one that has stuck with me the longest. My goal is to become a Registered Herbalist and someday have a brick-and-mortar shop. I have been reading and taking courses toward my required time. I love learning all I can about the plants God provided for us. I have experienced many of their benefits. Many of my blends were created to solve a personal issue or for a family member or friend. If you have a specific need or would like a custom blend, contact me by filling out the form and I will be happy to help.

This business is more than just tea and herbs to me. It’s the chance to share something I love, create with a purpose, continue learning, and spend more time with my family. Thank you for supporting my dream and being a part of this journey.
