HERB LESSONS IN THE GARDEN

Today's Herb Lesson with resident herbalist and PE instructor, Bakra - consisted of fun games that opened the children up to discussion and debate on the uses and benefits of using herbs found in your back yard.

The lesson consisted of first identifying different herbs typically found growing in and around the neighborhoods of the Boston Bay community. This exercise gave the children a chance to exercise and explore their neighbourhood while also paying keen attention to the details of their surrounding neighborhood and landscape. After thirty minutes of the class came back with an vibrant array of different plants, herbs and flowers.

The lesson continued with open questions and discussions about the uses of herbs and their benefits to your health.
