Tree Frog Farm has been making flower and tree essences for over 25 years. All plants are grown chemical-free using organic principles to support the health of the land and the people using our products. Our flower essences come from the native, medicinal, and ornamental garden plants that ecologically, and energetically form the integrated dynamics of the land. By doing this, we are respectfully creating an environmentally sustainable business.
A Flower Essence Legacy
Diana Pepper, co-founder of Tree Frog Farm lovingly passed down her flower essence legacy to Rhaychell and Stu before she passed on in December 2021. The couple had been employee’s of Diana, and mentoring under her since late 2016. After buying the business from John Robinson, Diana’s life partner and co-founder of Tree Frog Farm in January 2022, Stu and Rhaychell became the owners and operators of the present day Tree Frog Farm.
Diana’s flower essence knowledge and her craft of essence making are kept alive at Tree Frog Farm within her legacy, which Rhaychell and Stu hope to once again share Diana’s teaching with others in the garden’s here at Tree Frog Farm with classes and workshops. Diana shared much wisdom within the pages and posts of this website. If you wish to know more, we encourage you to explore our website and read past newsletters in our archives. Please reach out anytime if you have any stories to share. Thank You!
The History of Tree Frog Farm
John Robinson purchased the land we call Tree Frog Farm in 1976 as a homestead, garden, and Nature/Human sanctuary. It is 2.75 acres on Lummi Island overlooking the San Juan Islands in north Puget Sound, Washington, USA. Lummi Island is off the coast of Bellingham and neighbors to Lummi Nation near the Canadian border. It has a marine temperate climate with mild, rainy, winters and warm summers. We love it here because this climate is ideal for nearly year-round gardening of perennial herbs and native plants.
Tree Frog Farm is named after the nickel-sized bright green tree frogs that send up a chorus in the woods near here and the gardens. We have mature flower and vegetable gardens including our labyrinth medicinal herb garden. The woods are a mix of mature evergreens, (including Grand fir, Douglas fir, and Western Red cedar) and deciduous trees like Red Alder and Big Leaf Maple. Many of these are over one hundred feet tall. The understory is dominated by the many native wild berry shrubs and ferns, for which this region is famous. Many species of birds, frogs, and other critters call this land home.
Since early childhood, Diana had felt a close bond with plants and animals, and grew into a deep reverence for all Life. She was a communicator with plants, plant spirits, the fairies/nature spirits of Tree Frog Farm, and with Angels and Teachers of other dimensions. She created the Tree Frog Farm’s line of flower essences and aromatherapy products for human, animal and planetary health, as it was a natural expression of who she was.
“Our understanding of health follows our philosophy of kinship with and respect for all Life. We call it “healing to wholeness.” Each lifetime offers physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual challenges in our learning process. These challenges are healing opportunities; health becomes then not the absence of symptoms, but the returning to wholeness with All.” – Diana Pepper
The Future of Tree Frog
Together we honor Diana’s wishes to carry on her life’s work and wisdom as a legacy business. We are touched by the love and care of our customers as we have navigated the transition. We love that so many people around the world have been helped by the flower allies we work with here at Tree Frog Farm! We continue her work in partnership with Nature to operate in alignment with the highest purpose for Tree Frog Farm, and for the benefit of all Beings.
