Our Process

To create these candles, we first had to create a basis of understanding around the scents of plants at Sage Hill. We conducted research by visiting Sage Hill to smell plants ourselves, as well as asking Sage Hill professionals for their expertise and advice. We settled on the scents of Sage, Oak, Eucalyptus, and Yucca. Since Sage is the main plant of the land, we wanted the Sage scent to be in each candle. Therefore, we decided on the final scents of Sage & Oak, Sage & Eucalyptus, and Sage & Yucca. We also included the native plants themselves on top of our candles to add a pop of color, in addition to reinforcing the scents mixed into the soy wax. The native plants were also used to create sunprints, which we printed on site and turned into the informational booklet you’re reading right now!
