About

My name is Mignon Fochessati-Underwood and I’m the founder and owner of The Hibernian Botanical Company.  I love creating and I’ve always been passionate about design, craft, cooking, gardening, nature and sustainability.

The Hibernian Botanical Company combines all my passions.

Growing up in South Africa, I have been environmentally conscious from a young age and learnt the importance of working in harmony with nature and that our natural resources need to be respected and protected.

Creating a sustainable brand is very important to me.  It’s not just about creating a business or a product, we need to consider the impact it has on our health, our environment and ultimately our planets future.

Some years ago, I became very concerned about all the chemicals in our everyday products and also about how much single-use plastic we actually use. I decided that I needed to find a real way to go about changing this and bring others along that road with me.

Being sustainable is a journey and I think if we can all commit to making one little change it’s a start in the right direction.

Join me on a sustainable journey as we work towards creating a healthier, more environmentally-conscious way of living and use less plastic.

I am an entrepreneur, wife, busy mother to 2 young kids and carer of an extended menagerie of cats, dogs and chickens.  I was born and raised in Cape Town, South Africa and after graduating I worked in Marketing, Publicity and Advertising. In 2001 I moved to work in London. Some years later I met my wonderful husband who subsequently squirrelled me over to Ireland in 2005 and thus Wexford, Ireland became my new home.  In 2006 I created and opened Karoo Farm Shop and Café in Killinick and after many happy years in the food and hospitality industry I sold it in 2014 to dedicate my time to my young family
