Our Story

Born in the soulful heart of New Orleans and now thriving in the vibrant community of Lake Charles, Louisiana, Donald Buckner is the creator of Buckner’s Botanica—a boutique herbal experience dedicated to wellness and intentional living. As a passionate entrepreneur and creative soul deeply rooted in botany, Donald’s journey weaves together a love for plants, an entrepreneurial spirit, and a steadfast belief in the transformative power of nature, positivity, and personal growth."

The Botanica

It all began with a love for plants, some creativity and a lot of curiosity.

  • "I just wanted to share how amazing the 'Number One' salve is. Last night, I came home almost in tears—my left foot was swollen and hurting so badly. After lying down and rubbing a generous amount of the salve into my foot, I noticed the swelling started to go down after about 30 minutes. The pain subsided significantly. While it's still tender today, I’m continuing to use the salve, and I already feel so much relief. I’m beyond grateful for this wonderful product and will always order it. Thank you so much for creating something so effective. Your products are truly a gift!"

  • "I used the Better Rest tincture last night, and let me just say, amazing stuff! I'm currently working on repairing my nervous system after experiencing burnout, and this blend of herbs not only helped me sleep through the entire night but also made a noticeable difference when I woke up this morning. I feel more rested and balanced. I highly recommend this product to anyone seeking better rest and recovery!"
