About
fern apotheca was born from a shared belief that healing begins with connection... to the plants, to ourselves, and to one another.
We are Shanequa Singletary and Abigail McClam, and together we created fern to bring our shared passion for botanical wellness into a space where people can gather, learn, and reconnect with the wisdom of the natural world.
Our paths to fern were different, but deeply complementary.
Shanequa's journey has been shaped by years of herbal study, clinical training, community consultations, foraging, and a deep commitment to making herbal medicine approachable and practical. Her work is grounded in both traditional herbal wisdom and modern clinical education, with a passion for helping others build confidence in caring for themselves through plants.
Abigail's journey has been rooted in the body. Through years of bodywork, leading rituals and ceremonies, and working with plant medicines, she has cultivated spaces where people can slow down, reconnect, and experience healing through presence, touch, and intention.
Together, we envisioned fern as more than an apothecary.
We created a place where thoughtfully sourced herbs, handcrafted botanical products, flower essences, mushroom wellness, education, and meaningful experiences come together under one roof.
We believe that wellness is not a destination but a lifelong relationship with the plants, with our communities, and with ourselves. Every herb we stock, every product we craft or curate, and every experience we offer reflects that belief.
Our hope is simple: that every visit to fern leaves you feeling a little more connected, a little more nourished, and a little more inspired to continue your own journey with the plants.
