About this Event
Welcome to Family Herb Club - introducing wild hearted kids and their grown ups to awesome edible and medicinal plants led by herbalist Nicola Fenton, of Fenton's Herbology.
This group is suitable for ages 3 - 11. Siblings under 3 do not require a ticket.
What you can expect...
We'll be going on a Autumn Treasure Hunt, discovering what's growing - identifying familiar and not so familiar plants and learning about how you can use them. There'll be seasonal nature crafts to enable little ones to get hands on and familiar with the things that grow around them, plus information for grown up's on how you can confidently identify seasonal plants, trees and berries to inspire you to use safely use them at home as crafts, food and remedies with your little ones!
What is Family Herb Club all about...?
We'll be foraging! Let's get kids knowing what plants they are passing by, and learning how to harvest them and use them! Grown ups - become confident at what is safe for your little ones to touch, sniff and nibble - and some of the do's and don't's that go with it!
We'll be growing! Kids will grow their own herbs so they can learn what it takes to take care of our plant friends to help them grow - and then be rewarded with awesome tasting plants so they can make their own cups of herbal teas!
We'll be observing! The key to really learning about plants is to observe them and using our senses to get to know them, and slowing down - a very special skill for kids and grown ups to practice!
We'll be tasting! Throughout the seasons we'll be tasting loads of different plants - from a nibble of them when they are freshly picked to teas and cordials according to the season!
And along the way we'll be making things from plants and the nature around us!
