Healing Herb Learning Lab

The Healing Herbs Learning Lab was created to be used as a 1-hour afterschool program for children ages 6-11 at a local library 

  • The purpose of the Healing Herbs Learning Lab is to introduce children to the ways in which herbs are beneficial medicine to people, animals, insects, and the planet. 

  • The Healing Herb Learning Lab is guided by Gardner’s Theory of Multiple Intelligence by incorporating a combination of ways to process information and solve problems and the PERMA model by ensuring the creation and teaching are designed to develop positive mental health skills. 

  • Children will experiment with herbs through touch, taste, sound, smell and sight. 

  • Children will read about the beneficial properties of herbs. 

  • Children will choose their favorite herbs and plant them for their own take home herb garden.
