The Hairy Collective Dorset

Monday, and this week we kick off with another business we want to shout about!

Careys Secret Botanicals / Careys Secret Garden

The gardens are so beautiful, and full of so many interesting and exciting plants. The passion behind this wall garden is so clear to see, from the moment you arrive on site. Detailed and a so well executed design, helps you to navigate your way through the landscape.

Beehives, roses, vegetables, pond life, trees and so so much more.

There is loads to explore online too, with a host of events taking place all year round. We love to come here and chill out, mooch and drink a coffee.

The shop hosts some lovely Dorset goods, and unique and wonderful perfume from their talented Simon Constantine

Treat yourself to a visit, and stay for a while……

14th - 20th September Louise & Darren will be on holiday. This is our first FULL week off since February 2026

We do have spaces available this week 9th - 12th September. So if you’re thinking about a cut this month, then head to Booksy….

We’d love to thank everyone who continues to support our work and we are so grateful. ☺️

We are looking forward to All Things Fungi Festival and some time off in the Van.

See you behind the chair.

Hey Folks,

Darren is preparing himself to hold space once again for those who wish to join him.

Nature Connection walks, Nature Health and wellbeing groups and one to one session will soon be available……

If you feel like some deeper nature connection is needed, and would like someone to help guide that…. Then head over to and pop Darren a DM.

As part of our mission to celebrate independence and creativity is Lauren.

Now working from her beautiful cottage in Somerset with partner & cats. Lauren’s work has been used for clothing, art, community spaces and so much more.
A unique and beautiful person who genuinely loves and cares about the environment and it shows through the work.
We love our large Dorset print we have at home, and bought many cards over the years.

Please show support and love to this lovely human……
Lauren Marina
