SELF CARE: TEA TIME
Description
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 herb and pollinator gardens to make tea. While it is steeping, participants will learn about the importance of pollinators, and explore the biodiversity of our Pollinator Garden. Younger students will prepare for the tea party by gathering flowers for bouquets, making centerpieces out of found objects, and thoughtfully setting the table for their classmates. Older participants will discuss the medicinal properties of tea leaves and will have the opportunity to create their own tea leaf bundles.
