Wild Folk Apothecary was founded in 2022 by Bernadette Smart (now Ashcroft) as a coming together of her years of work with wild plant medicines, nature connection, foraging, folk herbalism, plant (and human) consciousness, and natural healing. Bernadette is guided by the folk traditions of these ancient and sacred lands, and keeps them in our collective awareness through her teaching, healing, and nature work, her creativity through song, writing, and ritual, and in the making of the offerings in Wild Folk Apothecary.
