Tea brewing is an art form that goes back to ancient times. Did you know that many of the herbs growing in our gardens are easy to use for brewing. Children love to explore and learn about these interesting plants that provide our brews with flavours and scents. Together we will explore the herb and flower gardens to create a better understanding of these plants and their uses. Then we will create our own blends to take home and sample, discussing drying and storing techniques while we taste our teas. This makes a great “friends meet up” for your child for an afternoon of creativity, gathering and fun! Ages 6 and up
