About Us

A Little Family of Nature Enthusiasts

Nod to Nature sprouted from our floating home, where the gentle rhythm of water and the love of woodland walks inspire everything we create.

We're a small family affair: Holly and Jay (that's us!) handle the business side of things, drawing on our marketing backgrounds to share our little creations with the world. The artistic magic comes from Alicia, Jay's sister, whose talented hand brings each design to life through detailed illustrations.

How We Grew

Like many good things, Nod to Nature began with a simple frustration: we couldn't find organic cotton tees with designs we truly loved. Tired of settling for fast fashion, we decided to create something just for ourselves.

When family and friends started asking where they could get "one of those mushroom shirts," we realised we might be onto something. Alicia's illustrations were too magical to keep to ourselves.

What We Stand For

Every design begins with Alicia's careful hand, capturing the charm and character of nature. These illustrations are then embroidered onto 100% organic cotton tees, created on demand to minimise waste.

We believe in thoughtful creation—no excess stock gathering dust (plus, there's not much room for stock on a narrowboat), no rushed production, just mindfully made pieces that connect you to the natural world. Every tee is made only when you order it, with carbon-neutral shipping.

Our Little Corner of the Forest

From our floating home to your wardrobe, we're delighted to share our love of nature's quirky, wonderful details. Whether you're a fungi enthusiast, woodland wanderer, or simply someone who appreciates a touch of the wild in everyday life, we hope our tees bring a smile to your face and a little nod to the natural world around us.

Thank you for supporting our small family business and for choosing to wear a piece of nature's art.
