JUNIOR HERBALIST CLUB
Junior Herbalist Club (JHC) has been designed to engage and educate children through play -and- learn. They will learn about the healing benefits of plants which grow around them.
LEARNING THROUGH PLAY
JHC has been designed to engage and educate children through play to learn about the healing and medicinal plants all around them in a safe and supervised environment, whilst covertly incorporating core subjects including English, Maths, Biology, Chemistry, Botany, Latin and Cookery, as well as helping children to gain in confidence, improve fine motor control and develop a new skill set.
In each subject the children learn about the medicinal uses of plants and make something to take home (lavender bags, lip balms, bath bombs, and more!).
JHC is proudly supported by NIMH UK and NHAA in Australia.
This is a Comprehensive two-year course where young herbal enthusiasts dive into the world of herbs!
LEARNING THROUGH NATURE
All classes are led by a qualified Medical Herbalist and certified Junior Herbalist Club Leader, providing expert knowledge and engaging, hands-on learning experiences.
