About Into The Green

 

Into The Green creates beautifully natural candles and home fragrance from a floating workshop on the Kennet & Avon Canal. Every product is handmade by founder Abigail Johnson using pure essential oils, natural waxes and a slower, more thoughtful approach to craft.

 
 

Made in Wiltshire, England

 

Wiltshire is a county shaped by landscape. From the ancient chalk downs and the Vale of Pewsey to the Kennet & Avon Canal and historic market towns, it offers the kind of slower pace that allows craftsmanship to flourish.

Many of the makers based here draw inspiration directly from the surrounding countryside. Whether creating natural home fragrance, artisan food or beautifully designed everyday objects, they share a commitment to quality, sustainability and thoughtful making.

At The Local, we see Wiltshire as one of Britain's quiet creative centres—a place where tradition and contemporary craftsmanship comfortably exist side by side.

 

"Always pure plant power and no nasties."

– Abigail Johnson

VALUES & SUSTAINABILITY

Made slowly. Powered by nature.

Into The Green makes every candle in small batches aboard a canal boat using 100% natural waxes and pure aromatherapy-grade essential oils. Synthetic fragrances, paraffin wax and unnecessary additives are avoided entirely, while ingredients are sourced as locally as possible. Abigail's slower approach to making reflects a deep respect for nature, wellbeing and thoughtful craftsmanship.
