Herbal Apprenticeships
We are now accepting applications for the 2026 Herbalist Apprenticeship Program. Students are accepted only once a year. The session runs from May to April. Classes are held one weekend per month. Last year there was a waiting list, and we recommend that you apply early to secure your place.
Classes and 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.
