Founded in 2018 in the lush green hills of the Brazilian countryside, Jardin Collective was born from the vision of our co-founder, Charlotte. While volunteering on an agroforestry project, Charlotte was inspired by the healing powers of nature and felt called to create products that captured the beauty and vibrancy of her surroundings.
Upon returning to England, Charlotte trained as a Certified Holistic Healthcare Practitioner and studied at the world's first school dedicated to mycology. With a lifelong passion for health, she had been crafting medicinal elixirs for friends and family for years. The most beloved creation was a sugar-free hot chocolate infused with medicinal mushrooms—our signature Mushroom Magic Cacao blend.
Living in the South American countryside for six months ignited Charlotte's desire to transform her homemade elixirs into a range of products designed to counteract the stress and chaos of city living. As demand for these nourishing drinking powders grew, Charlotte left her corporate music job to bring Jardin Collective to life. Partnering with co-founder Leo, an internationally experienced sustainable beverage consultant, they dedicated months to sourcing the finest sustainably sourced ingredients, packaging, and suppliers.
What began as a passion project in a kitchen-apothecary evolved into sell-out farmers' market stalls, international stockists, and workshops at festivals and retreats.
Jardin translates to garden, reflecting our celebration of nature's collective garden and the intricate mycelial networks, ecosystems, and creatures within it. Our products are inspired by the natural world and backed by science, using the highest quality ingredients from organic regenerative farms.
Why Medicinal Mushrooms?
Medicinal mushrooms are nutritional powerhouses that have been used for thousands of years in Eastern cultures for their longevity-enhancing properties. These fungi are immunomodulators, meaning they help regulate our immune system while boosting cognitive function and cellular repair. Some, like cordyceps, are adaptogens that help our bodies adapt to stress, while others, like lion's mane, are nootropics that support brain health.
At Jardin Collective, we are passionate about harnessing the medicinal powers of fungi for optimal health. Our products provide support, balance, and vitality. As we evolve, we aim to make medicinal mushrooms accessible to everyone and provide education that is approachable, realistic, and easy to understand. Jardin Collective is not just about medicinal mushroom products; it's a space to learn, grow, and connect—much like a mycelial network. We want to make the world a better place, one mushroom at a time.
Our Promise
Fed up with buying supposedly healthy products only to find they are full of added sugar and sweeteners? So are we! Many 'healthy' products on the market contain hidden sugars and artificial ingredients. Where others use sugar, we use naturally sweet spices like single-origin Ceylon cinnamon, cardamom, and freshly ground nutmeg.
