The greatest threat to our planet, is the belief that someone else will save it...

Hello
Welcome to Ivy & Willow Botanicals, my name is Lesleyanne and I'm the owner and creator
My company was created as a sideline to my fulltime career, from the need to create a healthier candle, born out of very real concerns surrounding the impact paraffin candles had on the environment and on my family's health and on the environment.
My background is far removed from candles, having been an NHS nurse since I was 16, the latter 24 years as an ICU nurse. In 2021 I retired from the NHS after 38 years, and candle making became my full time job
