Potager is a term coined by the French to describe a large, formal garden. Potagers, however, were not always fancy, in fact, they came from a much simpler time. The word itself evolved from the act of stepping out to the kitchen garden to gather some fresh herbs for that night's soup. Potager (pronounced poe-ta-jay) came to mean vegetable garden in French. Potagers evolved, transitioning from the simple kitchen garden behind the house, to elaborate gardens filled with medicinal herbs. For Wild Witch Potager the word is a nod to our French heritage and refers to our magical, witchy garden where we grow
ingredients for our botanical products.

Whimsy & Wild Things

In 2024 we donated $1000 to the Heart & Stroke Foundation.

Wild Witch Potager is proud to support the Heart & Stroke Foundation through the sale The Bee Charmer candle. Based off her favourite movie, Fried Green Tomatoes, this candle was created in loving memory of a dear friend. This special candle is inspired by her love of the colour pink with notes of sweet Nova Scotia honey and apple blossoms. Each candle is dressed with rough
rose quartz crystals for unconditional love as well as a small bee charm. We are proud to donate the proceeds from this candle
to the Nova Scotia Heart and Stoke Foundation in her name.

At Wild Witch Potager we try very hard to use only the best all-natural ingredients. Soy wax is a vegetable wax made from the oil of soybeans. After harvesting, the beans are cleaned, cracked, de-hulled, and rolled into flakes. The oil is then extracted from the flakes and hydrogenated. The greatest advantage of soy wax is that it is completely renewable, and a well-made soy candle will burn cleanly and slowly.

At Wild Witch Potager we only use premium, phthalate-free fragrance and essential oils.
