About Cascade
Called a true spokesperson for the plants, Cascade Anderson Geller crossed the great divide in May 2013 in the same gracious, intentional, wise woman way she lived her life. She was a woman who loved life fully, loved a good cause, and above all, loved Mother Earth.
Cascade served on the faculties of the Naturopathic College of Natural Medicine, Bastyr University, Southwest College of Naturopathic Medicine, and the California School of Herbal Studies. She was a founding member of United Plant Savers (UpS) and served as a beneficial and active member of its Advisory Board for many years. UpS founder, Rosemary Gladstar said, “Cascade was always a sounding board for me as she was for so many people, giving me input and helping to direct the young, growing organization. She was incredibly supportive of all Ups did and stood for. I know she was incredibly proud of United Plant Savers and felt, as I did, that it represented a voice for the plants and offered a way for us to give back to these incredible green beings who had gifted us with so much.” Cascade taught at many UpS conferences, spreading the word to her numerous students and encouraging them and others to participate, strongly supporting the mission in every way possible.
