i want to be an herbalist

(Source.)

I want to feel the cool velvety earth in my hands. I want to pluck flowers and brew them. I want to help people feel better and live better. I want to be an herbalist.

Asheville has (at least) four schools that teach herbalism/medicinal herbal healing:
-Appalachia School Of Holistic Herbalism
-Blue Ridge School of Herbal Healing
-Chestnut School of Herbal Medicine
-Daoist Traditions College of Chinese Medical Arts

I want to learn their ways.
