About our founder:

Jolene began formulating natural skincare products in 2012 as both a creative outlet and a means to ensure the products she was using were clean. Garden City Essentials was born in her kitchen from the beautiful botanical ingredients she sourced to create her small batch soaps and skincare products.

In 2017, after completing studies in Holistic Nutrition, Jolene decided to open the natural lifestyle shop she needed in her life in downtown St. Catharines. From selling at local markets, to a sweet brick & mortar and online shop, Jolene feels immensely grateful and privileged to continue building relationships with an amazing community of customers and eco-conscious brands.
