About
Manzanita Berry & Bark is rooted in the belief that we are part of nature, not separate from it. Through our handmade native plant goods, outdoor adventures, and workshops, we invite people to reconnect with the land and with one another. From foraging and storytelling to learning about local ecosystems, everything we do is guided by a simple purpose: to nurture a deeper relationship with the earth and celebrate the wisdom it offers.
About the Editor & Founder
Hi, I’m Gisa Seeholzer—writer, forager, and environmental biologist. I founded Manzanita Berry & Bark to inspire reconnection with food, land, and community through foraging, natural dyes, and seasonal living.
Alongside this work, I serve as a Literary Agent at Inspired Ink Literary, and on the board of Books in the Woods, a nonprofit re-wilding literacy through youth-centered programs. I also lead Marigold Farms Inc. as Board President, supporting regenerative farming and collaborative land stewardship.
Across all my roles, my mission is simple: to help people deepen their connection to nature, story, and each other.
