SELF CARE: TEA TIME

Students will practice self care as they learn about plant parts with a focus on leaves and petals used to make tea. Participants will work together to locate, identify, compare/contrast, and harvest specific leaves and flower petals from the greenhouse, herb and/or pollinator gardens to make tea. Participants will discuss the medicinal properties of tea leaves and will have the opportunity to create their own tea leaf bundles to take home.
