Welcome to Your Next Wild Adventure

Donate to The WANDER School’s Relief Efforts
Help us continue to organize aid efforts and purchase medicine making supplies, or email us to donate supplies directly. Currently we need nonalcoholic remedies, solvents (menstruums), like vegetable glycerine, alcohol, honey, apple cider vinegar, olive oil, and beeswax; and tincture bottles, salve jars, and other containers. All donations are tax deductible through our 501c3 nonprofit.

So far, we've:
  • helped get herbs to lots of folks in need after the hurricane, including our friends and relatives in Cherokee, NC.
  • connected Herbalists helping others in need all over the region, including hardest hit rural areas.
  • set up herbal giveaways at the amazing 12 Baskets Café, an incredibly innovative project of the Asheville Poverty Initiative that is much more than a food pantry, giving away meals and groceries 6 days a week.
  • planned an Herbal Self Care Station for Relief Workers from Mutual Aid Disaster Relief, Asheville Tool Library, and Be Well (an organization getting cleaning water to people after the hurricane) at Smith Mill Works.
  • been creating The Wandering Wellness free mobile clinic. (Fill out the Voluteer Form here.)
  • so much more! Read all about it in the full fundraiser here.

About Our Non-Profit Work

The WANDER School was founded by Herbalist, Botanist, Author, and Professional Forager, Abby Artemisia, in 2015 to serve communities by providing inspiration for a personal connection with nature and empowering individuals to improve their health through holistic means. You can read more about Abby here.

As of 2020, we are now a 501(c)3 Registered Non-Profit Organization with the mission to connect underserved communities in need (such as Indigenous, Black, Queer, and Appalachian) to medicinal herbs & preserve traditional ethnobotanical knowledge. Learn more about our non-profit work here.
​

The WANDER School is based in the Southern Appalachian Mountains. Services range from botanical property surveys, wildcrafting apprenticeships, and herbal education workshops to extensive virtual learning opportunities, all available to help people make connections with the natural world. Free resources available from The WANDER School to provide accessible nature connection and empowerment include the Wander, Forage & Wildcraft podcast and our YouTube Channel featuring Plant Identification, Classes, Plant Walks, and more.
