Foraged Woodland Tea Party
An enchanting introduction to wild herbal teas! Step into the woods as a forager, not just a hiker. In this hands-on program guests will explore the forest floor and trail edges and learn to spot and safely identify wild plants that have been brewed into teas for generations — things like pine needles, wild mint, clover, etc., depending on the season and location. We'll then head back into the education center for some taste-testing. What to expect: A guided walk to search for edible, tea-worthy plants Simple, memorable rules for foraging safely (only pick what you can positively identify; leave enough for the forest and other foragers) A tasting session — sipping the tea you helped find, with time to talk about flavor, smell, and which plants tasted best Take-home tips and recipes for continuing to forage safely and brew your own teas. COST: $30 Members, $30 Non-members IMPORTANT INFORMATION: This program is fitting for children 6+ with an adult and for adults. Small snacks will be shared, but guests are welcome to bring their favorite snack to pair with their teas. Lorrimer Sanctuary is not a nut-free facility and cross contamination is possible at this event. This program will take place both indoors and outdoors, please dress for the weather!
