About

Nature School is a community of people committed to studying and working with nature. The world is our teacher and life gives us the opportunity to learn, grow, and share while we are here on this magical planet.

Tom Corson-Knowles, Founder

Tom Corson-Knowles is the best selling author of 28 books including The Vertical Gardening Guidebook. Tom is also the founder of TCK Publishing, a traditional book publishing company with a focus on books about personal development and wellness.

Tom began learning how to use wild plants for medicine and food as a child through two family friends, one a member of the Potawatomi tribe and another, Jim Meuninck, who is the author of several great field guides for identifying and cooking with wild plants and mushrooms. Since then, Tom’s love for nature has only grown and he continues to learn as much as he can about how to sustainably work with our fellow plants and mushrooms for the benefit of all beings.

Tom is the leader of the Indianapolis Foraging and Medicinal Plants group so if you live or are traveling new Indianapolis, come join us for our foraging walks, classes, farm tours, and other events!

Tom is also the leader of the Indianapolis Personal Development Group which hosts personal development workshops and events.
