MAYFLOWER ACADEMY OF HERB LORE

Herb Studies for Children and Teens

Cross  the boundary between the wild and the cultivated

and learn the secrets of the green ones

City living doesn’t have to mean we are cut off from nature – it’s all around us, we just need to get outdoors and expand our awareness.  In this year-long program, young herb enthusiasts will develop an experiential, seasonal understanding of wild medicinal and edible plants and trees.

Nature will provide the classroom – we will be outdoors, embracing the elements and seasons.  We will meet in various parks in HRM including Point Pleasant, Fort Needham, Seaview Park look-off, Withrod Lake, Public Gardens, Frog Pond & Flinn Park

We will meet once a month on Sunday (Monday during July and August)

Space limited to 6 per class.
