Dragonfly Dreaming® is a special treasure - utterly natural body care products that wed the uplifting beauty and aromatherapeutic properties of pure essential oils with the herbal healing traditions of many cultures.

'Aesthetic healing' for body and spirit...
established in 1997,  on lifetimes of experience... 

Dragonfly Dreaming®  was actually conceived in 1995 ~ with a baby on the way, and nothing but petrochemical  commercial products on the market, my long-standing passion for essential oils, ethnobotany, wiidcrafting  and herbalism  was given a focus in creating 'things' for myself and my wee one...

More of that story another time .... but  our products have grown (as have we)  and have well stood the test of time and helped many, many people.

Dragonfly Dreaming® products contain only the finest grade essential oils and plant oils and butters: no synthetic fragrances, petrochemicals, formaldyhide, mineral oils, nut oils or animal oils - the only things that don't come from plants are organic Vancouver Island beeswax and zinc oxide in some products, and stabilizers and preservatives in the few products containing aloe vera.

We develop and create all our unique products from the ground up, literally, in the gorgeous Cowichan Valley, on Vancouver Island, Canada. We grow our own lavender - certified organic - and distil it ourselves; we harvest calendula, wildcraft St. John's Wort and other herbs at our family's high mountain retreat  here in the Valley to make our infusions and as far as possible, we source what we can't grow ourselves from original producers.

Other decisions - like packaging - are always made with the environment in mind although plastics are unavoidable in some cases. But you won't have a lot of extraneous cardboard to deal with when you purchase Dragonfly Dreaming® goodies!

Dragonfly Dreaming was recognized by the Campaign for Safe Cosmetics in its early days, and we are honoured to be signers of their pact to bring an end to carcinogens in cosmetics - we encourage you to visit their web site, it's a tremendous eye opener!  http://www.safecosmetics.org

Environment, ethics & integrity -  Dragonfly's  been at it for decades.

The lavender will be in full bloom; distilling demonstrations will  be taking place as harvesting and weather permit. There may even be some lavender lemonade on hand!

But most certainly, Dragonfly will welcome friends both old and new with her very special organic healing balms, care for Mums & Babes and all the other good things she concocts!

Dragonfly Dreaming co-hosts the Rona MS Bike Tour Cowichan Valley Grape Escape
Summer Show & Sale and whatever.... 

We've teamed up with that wonderful annual event, the MS Bike Tour  -  people are jumping on their bikes all over the country to raise funds for MS, and we've opened our gardens for them to take a break here in the heart of Cobble Hill...

Being as we'll have to cut the lawn we decided to hold an open house for all those city Dragonfliers who are needing a country visit ~ come on up to Cowichan, and mind those bikes!

Directions:  From the Trans Canada Highway  between Mill Bay (south end) and Duncan (north end), turn west at the Fisher Road lights (there's a Rona there - NOT the one in north Duncan!) - follow Fisher  past the Cobblestone Pub; the next right is Garland Avenue - turn right there and come to the end - it's a cul de sac  - and Dragonfly Studio is on the left.

Call Dragonfly at 250-743-8036 for more information!

Dragonfly Is Moulting!

LOTS of big changes in stream with Dragonfly Dreaming....  can't talk about it yet, but it has to do with a 'new look', some new folks on the team and some new ways for you to be able to find our fabulous products!

We'll be  more specific soon (promise)!

And in the meantime, we hope to see you all during the July shows, either here in Cobble Hill or in Victoria at the 4th Organic Islands Festival!


All the best - Beth
