Introduction Hi! My name is Leslie. I am the voice of Cottage Garden Therapies. We are a Husband (Cory)and Wife (Leslie) team behind our natural soap and bodycare business. We are also parents (and I a stay at home mom) to a frilly super-hero loving 4 y/o girl and a rough and tumble, ball toting, pirate growling 2 y/o boy. Life is fun. Here is our story... Our venture came about with the necessity for natural, non-toxic quality products (with ingredients we can actually pronounce) for our growing family. Leslie was increasingly concerned over the tormented state of her family's skin. We decided to take measures into our own hands. After much research on honey and pure natural botanical ingredients Cory began whipping up handmade batches of soaps and body care products. Since we have started, the awful eczema is gone, sensitive skin has been at peace and our skin has never looked healthier. Since we couldn’t keep those pesky relatives & friends (and good humored guinea pigs) from begging, we decided to share with everyone!
