4th August 2025
Join me on Tuesday 19th August for a 2 hour stand alone taster session of Junior Herbalist Club.
Junior Herbalist Club (JHC) was set up in 2014 to teach children about the healing herbs growing all around. The session has an emphasis on learning through making but covertly covering some core subjects.
This class will include making herb gifts to take home. Children will be encouraged to use magnifying glasses to look at the plants and we’ll create a plant ID table of our finds from a mini herb walk (heading outside will be weather dependent, if the weather is terrible the herbs will be provided).
We’ll make a herbal infusion and make some leaf rubbings to take home too.
Children under 8 will need a parent/guardian to stay with them for the duration of the class, please note the class is suitable for 5 years and above. Herbal tea will also be provided for grown ups! Please note children will need to wear clothes/shoes that can get messy.
Tickets are per child and there are a maximum number of 14 children for this session.
