In this lesson, participants will engage in an exploration of herbs and create their own herb bundles. We will explore the farm and greenhouse to learn about what herbs are growing, how to identify them, and discuss their flavors, scents, and healing purposes. Students will learn how and when to harvest herbs growing on the farm as well as how to store herbs to dry and preserve them. Participants will create an herb field guide as well as herb bundles inspired by seasonal offerings.
