Hello, I'm Rachel, the heart and soul behind Wild Seeds. My world is filled with the honest chaos of raising a five-year-old son, walking our dog Kora, and sharing a home in the stunning, grounding landscape of Central Otago. I am a devoted mum and a creative soul, and I pour my heart into everything I do.

Around here, many people know me as Ms. Monarch. For over a decade, my face painting and creative designs have brought colour, joy, and imagination to local events. This artistry is a true extension of my personality: full of warmth, playfulness, and a wonder for the world. This passion for whimsy isn’t just for children’s parties; it weaves through all aspects of my life.
