Ashanti’s Garden is an all-natural bath and body care business that specializes in herbal remedies and organic plants and produce.
Located in Muncie, Indiana, Ashanti’s Garden got its start in 2017. Owner Ashanti Branson studied herbalism at the Chestnut School of Herbal Medicine in 2018 and has continued to self-teach ever since.
Branson’s business carries an array of homemade, medicinal bath products — such as salves, bath soaks, tinctures, body oils and lotion bars — in addition to herbal remedies in the forms of body butters, infused hair oils, seasonal loose-leaf teas, beeswax candles, syrups and honeys.
Each product is handmade to order, using all-natural and mostly organic materials in small batches.
Although the store does not currently have a brick-and-mortar, Ashanti’s Garden operates through an online storefront and is a vendor at farmers markets in the Muncie area.
