liken thyself unto a sunflower
— Owner/Grower, Heather Rietz

the Founder of Botanical Companions, while working at an organic farm, had experienced energy like never before when her diet was an abundance of veggies she brought home!

She often described feeling like a sunflower!

She was convinced it was from being nourished with more vegtable nutrition.

~Founder’s Background~

Heather's roots began with her Grandmother Ellen's example of a whole & living food lifestyle. Grandma helped many in her community while also sustained a hospital-free long-lived life.

Having an innate passion for nature and wellness, Heather completed a Bachelor's in Science in Biology and Chemistry in 2008 at Fort Lewis College in Durango, CO. She volunteered, worked, and operated an organic farm. She worked as a plant biologist with National Park Service and Private Environmental Consulting Firms specializing in local native and non-native plants. Additionally, she worked in laboratory settings performing soil, water and plant quality analysis.

Personal experience and grandmother's inspiration created the desire to serve the community with nutritionally beneficial plant products, thus the creation of Botanical Companions.
