Blaine Andrusek has been teaching on the topic of herbs and healing for over 40 years and was one of the first graduates of Wild Rose College of Natural Healing. He has led a rich life of adventure, learning and teaching and has a great reverence for the natural world around him .

Thanks to his passion (though he never initially intended to become a herbalist or instructor) many have been impacted either as a student, and audience member, a client or a customer.

Blaine has many stories to tell, and much knowledge to spread and in this interview we learn:
