Otherworldy Botanical of Muskegon
*We accept credit & debit cards!
This week I’ll bring Aloe Vera plants for $3.00 each. Did you know NASA studied the aloe vera and discovered it is one of the most useful indoor plants we have because it helps to remove harmful pollutants known as VOCs from the air, takes up carbon dioxide, and provides abundant oxygen back into the air around it. It’s a succulent, so it’s easy to maintain and doesn’t require much water at all.
I’ll also have seasonal goodies as well as the usual favorites like teas, vinegars, honeys, herbal extracts and completely toxin free body care products.
Using local ingredients wildcrafted with care or organically grown.
