This past Spring we teamed up with local videographer Nik Djordjevic to create a piece on Marigold Collective. Nikola's goal was to work with a local small business to create a short video of their story. We had a fantastic time working with Nik and are very excited to share the end result with you now!
This video is an overview Marigold Collective and Paula, the founder's journey to have started this social enterprise. We hear from Marigold founder, Paula and her daughter Sophie, as well as two of Marigold's awesome volunteers, Roxanne and Margaret.
We encourage you to take 5 minutes and have a look at Nikola's work!
We are excited to announce that we are now carrying Davis Bay Tea Co. in our Marigold Collective Studio in Vancouver.
Davis Bay Tea Co. was founded in 2017 my female entrepreneur, Mara Parnell. Mara is passionate about great tasting, quality loose leaf team that is ethically sourced and pesticide free. Davis Bay Tea Co is 100% blended in Canada in small batches using unique recipes. There really are no compromises with their quality ingredients and great taste.
Known locally as the Tea Lady, Mara's delicious teas can be found in cafes, restaurants, gourmet retailers, and now, Marigold Collective.
Pop into Marigold Collective's Vancouver studio for a great selection!
We are loving the Earl Grey Cream Tea.
