Come to The WANDER School's FIRST EVER Open House to see where the magic happens!
We are hosting our first ever open house at The WANDER School's headquarters in West Asheville! We want to share our homemade herbal products with you, and meet our supporters and the awesome herbal enthusiasts of North Carolina. We will be open for drop-ins between 10am and 2pm on Saturday, December 9th. It's a great opportunity to meet Abby and The WANDER School team, stock up on herbal goodies, and find some gifts for family and friends for the holiday season. We'll have foraged tea & treats! Please RSVP at botanicalabby@gmail.com and we will send you the event details.
