Botanically Curious invites you to step into a world where herbalism is accessible, empowering, and rooted in the land we call home.

We create boutique herbal experiences for anyone ready to explore plant medicine, build confidence in foraging, and embrace whole-health practices that bridge socio-economic gaps. Our mission is simple: to help people reconnect with nature, knowledge, and themselves.

You’ll often find Paula Kersch—owner, head herbalist, and heart behind Botanically Curious—crafting blends or tending her coastal Maine gardens. She weaves together ancient wisdom and modern herbal practice to offer remedies and rituals that support real, everyday wellness.

Paula’s commitment extends far beyond the apothecary. She is dedicated to building community through collaboration, education, and service. Join us for a class, workshop, or gathering led by Paula or one of our incredible partners, and become part of a growing movement that celebrates connection—to plants, to place, and to each other.
