Botanical Property Surveys

We want to help you get to know your land.

Have you always wondered what you can safely eat ​or work with as an herb? Do you want to develop a deeper relationship with the land you live on?

We offer botanical property surveys just for you, near Asheville, NC and virtually!

Go on a personalized plant walk on your property with Abby!

At your Botanical Property Survey, you'll learn all about the plants that grow on your property. As you reconnect with the wild, you'll be empowered with information and know-how to forage for delicious foods and turn wild herbs into medicine.

In-person Botanical Property Surveys are limited to the Asheville, NC region. Not local? That’s ok! We offer Virtual Surveys

How It Works:

Local Surveys

Part 1: Scheduling

Once purchased, email Abby to schedule your botanical property survey. Ideally, you'll do a survey in 3 seasons (Spring, Summer, and Fall) because new plants are growing and blossoming at different times of year.

The price for a Botanical Property Survey is $275 (plus transportation fees) for the first two hours and $100 for each additional hour, to be paid ahead on Venmo, PayPal, or by check.
​
If you have a large property, want something more detailed, or are interested in learning what is growing through each seasonal change, we can discuss how to make that happen.

Part 2: The Walk

Abby will come to your property and spend a couple hours walking the land with you. You'll get to go for a botanical walkabout of your property with a botanist, forager, herbalist and wildcrafter with over 20 years experience teaching people how to reconnect with the land and empower themselves with the knowledge and the know-how of all things wild. The walk takes at least a couple of hours, and you will get to ask burning questions you've been dying to have answered.

Be prepared... Have landscaping flags and permanent markers on hand to mark your plants, something to take notes and pictures with, and even draw a map to help yourself remember what you learn and where it’s located.

Virtual Surveys

Part 1: Scheduling

​Purchase the Virtual Botanical Property Survey experience and book a time slot with Abby with your order number. Virtual property surveys start at 1 hour but can be booked for longer.

Follow the instructions we'll send on how to set up your phone or computer with Zoom if it isn’t already set up. If you don’t have data reception where you live, or you’d rather do it inside on your computer, just bring the plants you most want to know about (or several pictures of each one), and we can Zoom inside.

Part 2: The Walk

We will get on ZOOM and start our botanical plant survey at the scheduled time.

During our time together, we focus on a few plants and help you understand your connection to them better through some practical tips on identification and their benefits as food and medicine.

What people are saying…

  • ​"We recently had Abby out to our property in Marshall, NC for a springtime botanical survey and we found over 83 species in under 3 hours! Abby was extremely knowledgeable and made learning about the plants fun and tasty! She also offered up a wide variety of uses as well as recipes for many of the edibles we discovered. We are already planning visits with Abby for each of the seasons to see what other treasures are just waiting to reveal themselves. If you are looking to learn more about the bounty that awaits you right outside your door and have a spirit for adventure, we highly recommend you give Abby a call; we’re sure glad we did!"

  • "Abby is amazing!!! She surpassed all my exceptions for my land survey! We can now use our property to its full potential since Abby has identified our edible and medicinal plants! She is an expert and was able to answer all of our questions thoroughly. I would recommend this for every household, and also makes a great Father’s Day gift!"

    Rachel E.

  • "Spending time with Abby is a gift. She is of the Earth. She helped us get to know a property that was new to us. Our survey piqued our senses and helped us to plan how we would move forward with loving on the land. So thankful for Abby bringing people and nature closer together."

    Virginia R.

  • “Abby was great to work with; she answered all of my questions and had such a patient and calming presence. It was the highlight of my week. She really sparked my motivation and built my confidence to use more of the natural resources that are available to me on my land.”

    Karen D.

  • “Abby is a wonderful teacher who is full of wisdom to impart. We went on a spring hike at my farm, and she was able to help me identify many plants that are thriving in my own backyard. She is also very knowledgeable of ethical harvesting practices and adept at identifying poisonous fungi, plants, and trees. I am looking forward to seeing her again in the fall, as well as next year for foraging. I only wish I had more time to take classes with her!”
