Annie McCleary, director of Wisdom of the Herbs School, an herbal apprenticeship type program Annie McCleary M.A. Annie offers the wisdom of over twenty-five years of working and playing with wild and cultivated plants as food and medicine. She is Director of Wisdom of the Herbs School which she founded in 2003. Her teachings are profoundly holistic and are inspired by a deeply intuitive connection with the plant-people. Annie is an herb teacher, medicine maker, community herbalist and lover of plants. She is the former owner and founder of Purple Coneflower Herbal Extracts.

I really sensed your presence as an elder/teacher and the authority that you spoke from, the fruit of your decades of work with the plants, and medicine. W.P.

Teachings by Annie are beautifully woven to include so many perspectives, always tied to fundamental truths. A.Z.

George enhanced my powers of observation 1000%! E.G.

George’s herb walks were wonderful! He is such a great soul that brings something special to each adventure. These walks opened my eyes and spirit to many plant friends. J.A.

George has an incredible gift and I feel blessed to have been able to take part in his adventures with the nature spirits. His herbal walks and nature meditations have changed my life. S.B
