Backyard Beauty
Backyard Beauty celebrates the natural beauty that surrounds us all, particularly that which is in our own backyards. It also celebrates that the most important backyard for each of us to tend and care for is our own Inner Garden – and that when we intentionally acknowledge the beauty that is within us, we will discover our inherent gifts that we are meant to share with the world. When we share our gifts in heart-aligned ways, we support the thriving of All.
Backyard Beauty began in 2018 as Megan Murphy’s speciality cut flower and plant-based body care business. This is also the year Megan began planting perennials on her farm as an experiment for scaling up to perennial alley cropping. Soon after, Backyard Beauty’s focus shifted from the external beauty that flowers provide to the internal beauty that we all have an opportunity to cultivate. “You can’t create anything on the outside until you’ve created it on the inside first,” says Ilarion Merculieff…which was & continues to be very influential advice to Megan.
Megan brings both her scientific background and intuitive gifts to her work. She aims to highlight the integral connection we have with Mother Earth and the opportunities we have to tend this connection in symbiotic ways. Her work focuses on 3 primary areas:
- Support individuals in reclaiming their ability to listen to their hearts and honor the inherent wisdom of their bodies.
- Provide plant medicine (tinctures) that support individuals in releasing the energetic imprinting of environmental toxins and pharmaceutical vaccines.
- Bring perennial farming lessons-learned forward from symbiotically partnering with Mother Earth.
