Enjoy growing herbs for scent and taste!
Herbs are easy to grow and can be safely handled and eaten (but always check individual's sensitivities).
From lavender to thyme - make space on your doorstep for a potful to engage the senses of sight and touch, and smell and immerse yourself in the tranquillity of nature.
This activity connects individuals with the outdoors, encourages social interaction and conversation. It's a simple, nature-inspired activity that's accessible to people of all ages and skill levels.
Explore all 5 senses: Have small bunches or pots of herbs to pass around (easy to handle) and everyone can see, smell, touch, taste and hear them.
Look out for the symbols indicating which activities build or suit those with specific skills - featured in the Year-Round Gardening Activities book.
