Entry No. 28 — the Santa Cruz file — filed under: botanica

Botánica San Pedro

A working botánica on Freedom Blvd serving Watsonville's Latino community with saint candles, herbs, and folk-Catholic/spiritual religious supplies — the real, unglamorous version of the 'witchy shop' concept, built for practitioners rather than browsers.

The move: Go in with a specific intention — a candle color, a saint, a cleansing herb — and let the staff (reviewers single out the good service) walk you through it, then grab pan dulce nearby on Freedom Blvd.
