About Us - It all started on a beach in Nova Scotia!
Hi, I'm Dawn and this is my son Hendrik!
Wild Willow Eco was brought to life in 2020 in Leduc, Alberta and deeply inspired by our trips back “HOME”, Nova Scotia where we loved to spend as much time as possible during the summer months.
A Native Nova Scotian, born and raised in the Annapolis Valley, I really know the value of anything homemade, home raised, or home grown, and the importance of supporting local and small businesses.
My then six year old son and I were lucky to travel back to Nova Scotia in the summer of 2020 in the chaos of COVID and enjoy the company of our friends and family and breathe in that fresh ocean air that we used to take for granted.
Before leaving, I was sure to gather all of my favourite Nova Scotian things to bring back with me. These included candles, chocolate, wine & spirits, honey, maple syrup and soaps; all of the things that bring me comfort and have the ability to take the edge off of being homesick.
As I unpacked and savoured these products, I came up with the idea of creating comfort boxes for my fellow Nova Scotians living away from home. Fast Forward a couple years, and here we are! I’m happy to say that our family made the move back to Nova Scotia last year after being in Alberta for nearly 8 years!
I hope you enjoy the products as much as I’ve enjoyed selecting them and thank you for supporting local.
With love and warmth,
Dawn
