Carol Wade, Registered Herbalist (AHG), has been practicing as a professional herbalist and nutritional counselor for over 30 years, and is a Registered Herbalist with the American Herbalists Guild. Her garden, the Earth Island Medicinal Herb Garden in Ojai, California, serves as a hub for several medicinal herb-oriented ventures that bring the idea of using medicinal herbs in daily living as a viable and logical choice to the community at large.
Ten years ago, after practicing privately for much of her career, Carol joined her work as a practitioner and educator with her background in the herbal and organic gardening fields to bring herbal medicine to a wider audience with the Earth Island Medicinal Herb Garden in Ojai, CA. She currently offers Eco-tours of the garden that combine medicine making with garden tours, workshops for the general public and for school classrooms.
In 2017, Carol founded the Ojai School of Herbal Studies, a 22-month herbal studies program that utilizes the garden, hands on medicine making, and an in-depth education in how to use herbs safely and effectively, including terminology, plant chemistry, anatomy and physiology, an extensive materia medica and actual herb cultivation.
