Information:

Hands-on experiments and home projects will be used to bring the world of botany and permaculture to life. In 8 weeks, your family and I will explore the amazing plant world around us, focusing on Medicinal Herbs. During our classes, we will focus on a specific topic: visiting the children’s garden and the trails for nature walks. Then, head back for the hands-on experiments.
