What is Wildwood Institute of Herbalism?
Wildwood Institute is a woman-owned business dedicated to educating people to heal themselves, their families, their communities, and the Earth. We offer a comprehensive Herbalist Apprenticeship Program, herb walks, workshops, holistic health consultations, and speaking events.



Herbal Apprenticeships
We are now accepting applications for the 2023 Herbalist Apprenticeship Program. Students are accepted only once a year. The session runs from May 2023 to April 2024. Classes are held one weekend per month. Last year there was a waiting list, and we recommend that you apply early in order to secure your place.
Classes & Events
Visit Wildwood Institute and our medicinal gardens for an on-site workshop or herb walk. We offer introductory classes, and make-and-take workshops with materials included! Or, find Kathleen lecturing off-site, whether it’s at Olbrich Botanical Gardens, a national conference, or online.
