Emerald Business Bureau Ltd/t.a Enchanted Raven

Enchanted Raven is the brainchild of Emma (daughter) and Sheila (mother) team. We run Enchanted Raven around each other’s strengths and Sheila’s disabilities. We initially set up Enchanted Raven during the CoVid lockdowns to supply dried herbs and smudging paraphernalia for witchcraft, pagan and wiccan use many of the herbs we grow and dry ourselves in our gardens in Derbyshire. As well as dried herbs, we sell high quality dried flowers for crafting purposes, mainly resin crafts. Coming from a long line of Market Gardeners, creating a business around our love of gardening seemed the logical answer.

Since the beginning of 2022, Enchanted Raven has grown in leaps and bounds, and we are excitedly planting new flowers and herbs ready for the 2023 season. We grow approximately 35% of the herbs we sell and a huge 90% of the flowers we sell. This year has seen us add dried peony, lily and many other exotic flowers to our dried flower range.

We regularly export our flowers to mainland Europe and further afield. We now work close with several large-scale memorial flower preservation specialists, supplying them with dried flowers when they are unable to use their customers’ original flowers. We also work with nationwide high-end independent jewellers by offering a flower drying service for their customers.

We strive to create lovely, bright and vibrant dried flowers. By growing the flowers ourselves, we are able to dry the flowers within 15 minutes of picking. We have stringent quality standards and only the freshest and prettiest of flowers are picked for drying. Once dried, our flowers go through yet more rigorous checks to ensure that there are no damaged or missing petals and to ensure that the colour (most flowers change colour during the drying process, some drastically) of the dried flower is pleasing.

And, at the beginning of this month, we supplied our first wholesale order for dried herbs and smudge sticks to a newly established witchcraft shop in the capital. We are looking forward to building on this side of the business over the coming months.

We are excitedly preparing for Valentine’s day, preparing a range of dried red roses encompassing teeny tiny roses, our usual standard sized roses and then a selection of large dried red roses.

It is important to us that Enchanted Raven is as environmentally friendly as we can make it. We use pesticides only if it is absolutely necessary, otherwise pest control is left to the many visitors to our garden, or by washing the pests away by hand. We don’t use any dyes in any of our products; and because we dry our flowers and herbs rather than preserving them, we don’t use any harsh chemicals or palm oil.

We also strive to have a plastic free business as much as possible, and if we do have to use plastic (namely bubble wrap) at least 50% of what we use is recycled.
