Dear Botanics was born at the foot of the Catskill Mountains by native New Yorker Stephanie Pappas. Since moving to the Catskills, she has been learning to co create with the land and listen to the whispers of her ancestors. Of Greek lineage, her grandmother passed down traditions that taught her the gifts of the earth and how to use them intuitively. Created mindfully, many of these traditions have been adapted with sourced raw ingredients from all over the world.

Stephanie attended Arbor Vitae a School for Traditional Herbalism, and the New York Institute of Aromatherapy. This began the evolution from a folk method to a backed by science understanding in her practice. Her Greek heritage, her love for plant medicine, yoga, travel, and her background in fashion have shaped her perspective and given her the tools to create Dear Botanics.
