Herbal Education

Wild Gather: Hudson Valley School of Herbal Studies

Wild Gather is co-shaped by destiny siblings, Mandana Boushee and Lauren Giambrone ~ Community Herbalists who have grown Wild Gather as a vessel for their shared love of plants, community, and each other.

For them, Wild Gather is a living altar for their collective daydreams, stories, desires, lived experiences & positive plant obsessions. They see Wild Gather as an invitation and space for the curious and shy plant nerds, the loud, proud, and sparkly plant hoes, the freakers and loners, the botany fetish folk, those that carry arnica and ace bandages wherever they go, the every you and we that craves connection to our plant kin, and the endless portals they inspire.

Wild Gather is on a teaching sabbatical for 2023, however, find our available online offerings here!
