OUR IMPACT

A 45-Year Commitment

Doing Business the Right Way, Now Certified

Woman-owned and family-run since 1979, WishGarden has operated with one core belief: doing what’s right matters more than doing what’s easy. WishGarden’s fearless Founder and Chief Formulator, Catherine Hunziker, has been blending herbs, challenging systems, and pushing boundaries since long before it was trendy. A self-proclaimed hippy and OG radical herbalist, she helped shape the back-to-the-land and women’s health movements that still ripple through everything WishGarden does today, from how they protect the plants used in their legendary herbal remedies to how they treat people.

“We didn’t become a B Corp to change how we do business—we did it to formalize the values we’ve lived by since the beginning. Caring for people, plants and planet has always guided us. Certification gives that commitment structure and visibility. For us, it’s not a finish line—it’s a deeper promise to keep showing up with integrity,” said Hunziker.

WishGarden’s B Corp Commitment

How we put our values into action as a Certified B Corp

B-Corp certification isn't just a badge – it’s a commitment woven into WishGarden’s entire business. Here’s what that looks like in action:

"Staying independent gives us the freedom to lead with our values"

Anna Harshman, WishGarden VP of Impact & Development and daughter of Founder Catherine Hunziker, sees these milestones as a continuation of the values she was raised on. “Staying independent gives us the freedom to lead with our values,” says Anna Harshman, WishGarden’s VP of Impact & Development—and daughter of Founder Catherine Hunziker. “These certifications make the commitment my mom made almost 50 years ago concrete. It isn’t just about herbal products—it’s about a way of being. About building the structure to keep doing what we believe in, even as we grow. We’re here to make herbalism better, more accessible, and more accountable—and this helps us stay the course.”
