About Janne Larsen:

Janne started on the path of making her own botanical inks when her students were unable to name a single plant that grows around them. They began foraging together to make art supplies and through many successes and failures: Ms Larsen’s botanical inks began. Janne grew up on a farm and spent countless hours roaming the woods. It is her intention with this work to create a sense of mystery and curiosity about all the plants around us in the city, and country and field. Through Ms. Larsen’s Botanical Inks and Drinks, Janne aims to foster a greater appreciation for local flora and promote sustainable practices. By turning excess produce into beautifully crafted inks and wines, she helps individuals connect with the environment in a meaningful way, contributing to a more engaged and environmentally conscious community.

 
I believe that if people feel connected to the ground beneath their feet, they will be inspired to be better stewards of the land they inhabit.
— Janne Larsen
