It was a good outcome. The kids enjoyed learning about it and doing the activities. I was getting questions from the kids about the herbs, such as how to grow them or prepare them for use. I got a lot of different reactions when talking about the herbs’ benefits such as surprised that lavender can help you sleep. Another reaction that thyme smelt like pizza.
