Herbal Explorers:
From Harvest To Mug
November 18th 10:00-11:00 a.m. ~ Fountain Public Library~
230 S. Main St. Fountain, Colorado
Join us for a hands-on herbal adventure inspired by the flavors, plants, and traditions of the fall harvest. Through touch, smell, taste, observation, and creativity, children will explore how the plants we gather can be dried, preserved, and enjoyed long after the growing season ends.
We’ll begin by sharing a warm cup of fall-inspired herbal tea before exploring fruits, roots, berries, flowers, bark, and warming spices. Children will experience herbs in different forms—from fresh and dried to roasted—and discover how each brings its own flavor, texture, scent, and character to a cup of tea.
Using what they’ve discovered along the way, each participant will create their own Fall Harvest Tea, choosing the fruits, warming spices, and nourishing herbs that feel right for their blend. They’ll give their tea a unique name, design a personalized label, and take their creation home to enjoy.
This experience is designed to help children see the journey plants take from harvest to mug—while building curiosity, creativity, and confidence in making their own choices along the way.
