The Victorian Garden handcraft exquisite organic skin and body care products incorporating extracts from traditional “heirloom” plants using ancient recipes popular amongst the aristocracy of England and Scotland. “Because our recipes are so old, we believe our products to be unique”.
'The Victorian Garden Collection’ is our original range of 19th century products which are made from recipes popular during the Victorian era (1800's). These include the use of dozens of traditional herbal, floral and fruit oils plus extracts from seeds, trees, grasses, the earth's minerals, the ocean and in certain products, beeswax, honey and propolis.
Our second range is ‘The African Indigenous Collection' and here the products are made in the same way but combine many unusual indigenous African ingredients.
Our third range is ‘The Royal Tudor Collection' which dates back to the 16th century; here we recreate exotic recipes created for the Tudor Queens of England during the 1500's. These unique Tudor products combine ancient botanicals, herbs and floral waters popular during the 1500's.”
