Junior Herbalist Club Autumn Taster Session

Join me on Wednesday 28th October for a fun Halloween themed 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. It's an award-winning extracurricular course for children and teens, bringing the magic of herbal medicine to life through fun, hands-on learning.

This nourishing nature-based session will include making herbal 'remedies' to take home. Children will be encouraged to use magnifying glasses to look at the plants, learning about plant ID and we'll create a plant ID discovery table (heading outside will be weather dependent, if the weather is terrible the herbs will be provided).

We'll make bath bombs to take home which would make lovely gifts for Christmas, as well as create a tasty Lavender lemonade to enjoy, children will also create leaf rubbings and make a Cinnamon lip scrub to take home.

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 6 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. 

Junior Herbalist Club was originally established in 2014 and is supported by the National Institute of Medical Herbalists. It's the only nationally recognised herbal medicine course for children. It is delivered by Medical Herbalists who have undergone specific training in order to deliver the course. Due to the popularity Level Two and Three can also be enjoyed once Level One/Two has been completed.
