Participants will wander through the Forage garden on a little sensory tour, smelling and feeling different herbs and learning about their culinary and remedial uses. After that the kids will create their own herbal alchemy or garden potion and write a recipe to take home including a herbal or flower bouquet that can be dried or used in the kitchen. Facilitated by Silke Apel who has a passion for everything gardening, and loves to assist people in growing their own food and applying permaculture principles to everyday life. Silke will also share knowledge about the importance of having bees and other beneficial Insects in your garden and the different housing needs those animals have.

All materials are provided. Participants should wear clothes suitable for crafting, and must wear closed in shoes. Recommended to send them with a labelled water bottle.

SAFETY: Please be aware this workshop will involve the children collecting items from the Forage vegetable patch and Cannery gardens-please provide information if your child has any allergies to bees, insects, pollens etc. You will be asked this in the booking process.
