Instructor: RACHAEL BUSH

RACHAEL BUSH

Rachael Bush got her Botany degree from Weber State University. Shortly after graduating, she was offered the position of lab manager for the Department of Botany. She spent eight years working with the faculty, staff, and students of the department, enriching her knowledge of plants, and how people use them. Since then, she has developed a series of recipes for natural body care that are good for you and good for the environment. Rachael is also an artist and author who writes and illustrates the Botany for Everyone series, because everyone should know the basics of botany. You can read more at botanyforeveryone.com.
