I’m Leonie, the person behind Millefolium. I’m a gardener, agroforestry enthusiast, herbalist and aromatherapist.
My journey with plants began in childhood, spending countless hours outdoors, exploring the environment around me. Nature has always been my sanctuary—a place where I could fully be myself and uncover the many layers of life.
After an enriching journey in New Zealand, I developed a profound interest in food and nutrition, which led me to study Food and Agribusiness in the Netherlands. During this time, I immersed myself in the world of farming, working on diverse farms, participating in field visits, and conducting research in agroecology and agroforestry.
Through these experiences, I came to see regenerative farming as a vital solution to our climate crisis. Working outdoors with the soil, plants, and all the natural elements nourished me deeply, both physically and emotionally, While I recognize agriculture as a crucial pathway toward a regenerative future, discovering the nutritional and healing properties of wild plants opened an entirely new world to me—one that has profoundly shaped the work I do today.
My work is rooted in my extensive farming experience, my training as a herbal educator and aromatherapist, and my ongoing studies in Energetic Western Herbalism and human anatomy. Just as in nature, where no process occurs in isolation, I approach herbalism and plant-based practices from a holistic perspective.
I love sharing my passion for plants and am reminded continously that this field is endless and that I will be a student of nature till the rest of my life. The interaction with plants is not just work for me, it is my passion and my life.
