About Junior Herbalist Club
Junior Herbalist Club is suitable for children from ages 7 and over. Each month we will be learning about the medicinal uses of plants, stories, songs, growing, harvesting, and making something to take home - lavender bags, lip balms, bath bombs, lotions, potions and much more!!

The course includes: • Identification of common herbs growing all around • Safety – which herbs are safe to use and which are poisonous • Folklore – taught through stories and songs • How to grow and harvest herbs • Medicinal uses of common herbs • How to use a variety of common herbs for first aid • How to make a variety of herbal preparations to keep and take home • Respect for all plants and their environment All classes run by NHAA registered JHC leader and herbalist of 26 years, Virginia Maddock at Natural Beginnings.
