Quick answer: A WoW Forever Druid begins with Healing Touch, Mark of the Wild, and Wrath, then has 52 class abilities available to train over the 1-to-60 progression.
Class abilities, and the higher ranks of spells you already know, come from a Druid trainer as you level. When a new level comes up, visit the trainer to pick up whatever has opened. Each higher rank of an ability becomes available at its own set level. Talent abilities work differently. They come from the talent trees, not the trainer, so they are not counted in the 52. Those are covered in the WoW Forever Druid talents breakdown.
