Herbal Educator is sponsoring monthly tele-classes for children. These classes are designed to inspire interest in the topics of herbs, gardening, and nutrition. They are facilitated by Mrs. Donna Evans, Master Herbalist and Coordinator of Learning Activities for Herbal Educator.
Children, parents, grand-parents… You are invited to join Mrs. Evans in an exciting learning adventure. Discover the largest herb in the world, the origin of herbal tea, the “king of herbs,” and much more!
Event Schedule: On the first Thursday of every month
8 p.m. New York-Eastern Standard Time – USA or as pre-scheduled by your organization.

How it works: Families sign up their children via the online registration process. Each registered participant receives an e-mail with a colorful PDF file to be printed and kept by the phone for the 30-minute teleclass. During the call, Herbal Guide Mrs. Evans shares fascinating facts about the herb, gardening, stories from history and nutrition matters. Children write down the key points on their handouts and complete crossword/review activities to reinforce learning. After the call, parents/guardians can follow-up by making the delicious recipes and/or completing the activities provided in the handout.

Instructions for accessing the teleconference will be sent shortly after registration.
PLEASE NOTE that the $5.00 registration fee does not include the cost of the telephone call. All callers are responsible for their own long-distance phone charges, if any, during the 30 minute call.
These classes do correspond with the Young Herbalist curriculum, Herbal Explorations: A Journey of Discovery for the Young Herbalist, but are optional to the course. In other words, you do not have to be taking the Herbal Explorations course in order to participate in these tele-classes.
