Curriculum Work
I have started an Outreach progam that is educational based for the children of students from TESC. We will be using class projects based from the Kids Herbal Book and other refence books. There is a group of us that each week we will be meeting on Sundays to work with children from 1 to 5 pm, this not only strengthens their love of nature and art but gives parents a chance to do homework during this time. We are limited with space and have reached our limit for children, so the response has been great.
