Herbal Laboratory with Jenny Q: Our First Field Trip

At Jenny Q's Herbal Laboratory we explored raw herbs and identified their source (bark, seed, flower, stem, leaf, root) and medicinal uses.



Then we learned how to make tinctures from the raw herbs and made our own aromatherapy sprays. All the kids made a calming peppermint spray.



Last but not least, we made a chewy herb candy (loaded with tahini, peanut butter, carob, and herbs!) and discovered it to be truly delicious!
