About

There is a space where our worlds will always collide. You and I and everyone who has touched Mother Earth. We all have made a commitment to her before we even knew the words to promise. A promise to honor her, to celebrate her, and to give back as much as we can. Wild Verbena is a multidisciplinary practice of using locally sourced flora, leaves, seed pods, and more to dye the magic into silks from the Appalachian mountains. It was created and runs by Kristy Bogart. A mother, friend, daughter, and steward of the land. Wild Verbena is a love letter of a moment in time that can never exist again. It is a goal of enchanting people with the present and what surrounds us all. Each natural ingredient is hand picked by what calls to me and I celebrate and honor the process as I celebrate and honor our Earth. 

“There is something so basic, so natural in the hand that the urge to utilize its power will always make itself felt.  Moreover, the chief characteristic of handcrafts is that they maintain by their very nature a direct link to the human heart, so that the work always partakes of a human quality”

Each piece is hand dyed in ritual with love, intentions, and plant magic. Each piece is one of a kind wearable medicine // wearable art. I do not offer returns or exchanges, so please ask any questions before you purchase or visit Wild Verbena at Luna Gallery in the River Arts District in Asheville NC. Many blessings!!!
