Ancient Egyptians used willow and myrtle to treat pain and fevers, and Mayans used the papaya tree for many herbal remedies including digestion. Plants have been used as medicine from the beginning of our existence, and hundreds of modern-day medicines have been inspired by plants. In this session, participants will explore which plants in our gardens and surrounding woodlands can be used to treat colds, upset stomachs, stress, anxiety and so much more. The session will end by making an herbal tea from cuttings collected during the session. Registration for this program includes admission for one child and one adult. Families who register for multiple programs or register more than one child for the same program, receive a special discounted rate at checkout. Financial Aid is available.
