Seasonal Botanical Bundles are a curated selection of herbs, flowers, remedies and wild culinary delights that are offered quarterly, at the peak of each season. Each seasonal share is accompanied by original artwork by local artist Katie Nieland. We have collaborated on a series of beautiful plant portraits featuring native medicinals, accompanied with a written piece by Alex that centers on each plant’s medicine story.

These remedies and herbal delights are crafted in small batches with plants grown at Arise Botanicals or respectfully wild-harvested nearby. Some of the dried tea blends will feature herbs grown by local herbalist and farmer Shea Harkness at Curious Roots herb farm. These seasonal collections will feature medicines and remedies that are crafted specifically for this year-long offering as well as a few familiar favorites from the apothecary menu. Each bundle is an expression of the season itself, offering an invitation to connect more deeply with place and plant allies while growing your home apothecary.

Pickup dates will be on site at Arise Botanicals (37th and L St, Lincoln) and will offer an opportunity to learn more about what’s in your season share and the featured plants included. Pickup will also be available on-site throughout the week following the release date and can be coordinated with Alex directly. Because some of these products are temperature sensitive and/or include fresh plants, shipping is not available at this time. If you would like to order an a la cart bundle of shippable products, please contact me directly via the contact form for pricing and options.

2026 Pickup Dates:

• Winter — Sunday, February 1st, 10:30am-12:30pm

The community supported herbalism concept is built on the model of community supported agriculture (CSA). The CSA model promotes a more sustainable local agricultural system by connecting people directly to their farmers. By purchasing a seasonal share or a full year of seasonal botanical bundles, you are extending support to a local herbalist and the community-centered care work of Alex Svoboda. Arise Botanicals is in the process of expanding and sales from the seasonal botanical bundles will help fund the renovation of the two-story garage into a studio and drying room.

A full year of seasonal botanicals bundles (4 shares) is available for $190. Each seasonal share will include 4 remedies along with original artwork, educational writing and instructions how to work with the remedies. Because these handcrafted remedies are made in small batches, there are a limited number of bundles available (25 per season) and priority goes to full-year purchases. If additional single-season bundles are available ($55 each), purchase options will open at the turn of each season.

Examples of what you might expect to find in your seasonal share include: herbal vinegars, infused honey, elixirs, loose-leaf teas, fresh herbs and cut flowers, tinctures, infused oils, salves, herbal salts, tinctures, topical sprays, luscious body care, incense and more!

By participating in community supported herbalism, you are supporting your own good health and gaining exposure to new herbs and remedies alongside education about ways to work with them in a fun, seasonally based model. By supporting local herbalism you are supporting healthy communities and vibrant ecosystems.

Seasonal botanical bundle purchases are non-refundable. Please do reach out if your would like to pay by cash or check, discuss payment plans or potential trade options.
