We create artful floral designs, natural garden spaces, and well-being experiences inspired by nature’s beauty and resilience. Kate Watters is a farmer, floral designer, writer and artist. She has led a colorful, plant-centered life and now makes her livelihood from Wild Heart Farm, a one-acre oasis in Rimrock, next to Beaver Creek. She grows unique flowers, medicinal herbs, pollinator and fairy h
abitat and hosts plant gatherings. Kate is passionate about sharing the magic, wisdom and healing powers of the plant realm with people when they need it the most. She creates herbal tinctures and flower essence blends infused with high quality fresh herbs grown on the farm. When the world stuns her with beauty, sorrow or joy she turns to poetry. Kate combines her love for writing and flower arranging by offering seasonal weekly poetry bouquets subscriptions that are songs to the seasonal changes of place. She loves foraging in nature and collecting things, which has evolved into dried wreath and collage art creations when the garden is sleeping. Dr. Michael Knapp is a Naturopathic Physician at Root Natural Health in Flagstaff. He attended National University of Natural Medicine in Portland, Oregon and completed a one year teaching and clinical residency at the university. Dr. Knapp’s practice has an emphasis in digestive problems. He also treats stress, hormonal and immune system complaints that are often linked with gut-brain-microbiome imbalance. Other common acute and chronic complaints include: cold/cough/flu, diabetes, multiple sclerosis, Hashimoto and autoimmune diseases, headaches, depression, anxiety, sleep problems. He works with children over 1 year of age with digestive, allergy and behavior/attention problems and is committed to helping children grow to be healthy adults. After receiving his BS in Biology from Drake University in Des Moines, Iowa, he worked as a certified nursing assistant in a medical/surgical unit to continue preparation for medical school. Dissatisfaction with the hospital setting and treatment philosophy led him to question his path to become a physician. His own life-long digestive problems worsened and stress mounted while facing the reality of working in the current disease management system. In expressing these concerns to his acupuncturist, he was introduced to the approach he’d been searching for, Naturopathic Medicine. He declined his acceptance to a local medical school and pursued training as a doctor that embraces the future of medicine while cultivating roots in tradition. Together we are exploring our passions for beauty, plants, health and nature in this place.
