Welcome to Lavender & Roses Herbary and Florals

Meet Janell Foust

Janell Foust is a florist, herbalist, Therapeutic Touch and Reiki Master. She is the owner and founder of Lavender & Roses Herbary and Florals, a sweet little herb shop in Richmond, Indiana where she sells a natural skin care line, organic herbal teas, flower essences and aromatherapy bath and body care products. All of Janell’s products are prepared in an herbary on her beautiful sixty acre farm on the border of Ohio and Indiana, among a bounty of native medicinal herbs.

In 1975 Janell co-founded Rose City Nursery, a landscape, garden center, and greenhouse business that is still in operation today. She studied floral design in Indianapolis, Indiana and Anaheim, California. Throughout her many years of floral design Janell saw the amazing healing power of plants and flowers, as well as their impact on the people who received them.

More than a decade ago she began expanding her knowledge of herbs, which then naturally developed into studying the healing power of touch. She has received training from Dominion Herbal College, British Colombia and studied herbal arts and sciences from a variety of Master Herbalists including Rosemary Gladstar of Vermont and Soloman, an Amish herbalist from Indiana. She completed Master level Reiki Training, Therapeutic Touch levels 1 and 2 and interned in Montreal, Canada, practicing the modalities of Reiki, Therapeutic Touch & Aromatherapy in health care facilities for geriatric care, palliative care, Alzheimer's, hospice and ICU.
