More About the Instructors
Fatima Grace is the owner of VT Green Dwelling Apothecary, known for its slogan “Going with the Grain of Nature.” She began crafting herbal products in 2015 to meet the growing demand for holistic, plant-based remedies. Fatima’s expertise stems from over a decade of wildcrafting and a passion for plants rooted in her childhood on a family farm. She is an active vendor at farmers’ markets and continues to source herbs locally, either from her family’s sheep farm or foraging in the Connecticut River Valley. Fatima lives in Cornish, NH, with her husband, a timber framer and stonemason, and their Livestock Guardian dog
Lyndsay Schandel is an herbalist, grower, and mother of three, living and working with the plants in Vermont. Lyndsay’s path into herbalism began years ago through direct experience: tending gardens, living close to the land, and learning—sometimes out of necessity—how plants can support the body in simple, profound ways.
Lyndsay grows herbs from seed and responsibly wildcraft others, harvesting with attention to timing, soil health, and vitality. Her work is rooted in observation, traditional herbal knowledge, and a deep respect for the natural order of things.
At the heart of my practice is a belief that creation is meant to be tended—not dominated. I see herbalism as both a practical skill and a form of stewardship: listening closely, working humbly, and offering what is needed with integrity. My hope is to help others feel more confident caring for themselves and their families using the medicine found in nature.
