Herbs, Potions, & Concoctions

July 2, 3, 5, 6 (4-day week), Entering Kindergarten to Entering 5th Grade

Use plants to make secret potions! Spend time in the Bartlett’s beautiful herb garden – and use the plants we harvest in creative ways. $320 (members discount: 15%)

What concoctions can you make? Using the natural world around us as inspiration, we will create “spells and potions,” for fun, not to mention get our hands busy crafting using what we find in the gardens. From art projects, to herb based snacks, and fantasy nature stories, this will be a busy (but fun!) week. A pinch of lavender, a dash of mint, and a few rosemary leaves… What will you whip up this week?

· Create your own magic wand using natural materials.

· Put together a potion to make slime!

· Make herb candy picked fresh from our garden.

 

Spend summer at the Bartlett Arboretum!  We offer environmental programs that offer a unique transformational journey to help youth discover the natural "unplugged" world around them. Our programs are hands-on, incorporating STEAM (science, technology, engineering, art and math) as we investigate the Bartlett’s extraordinary 93-acre campus. We balance open-ended nature exploration with Next Generation Science Standards’ aligned activities that build explorers’ skills and knowledge.

 

Join us for 2018 Summer Immersion Experiences. Program dates: June 25 - August 17. This year we are excited to announce eight unplugged and unparalleled weeks! Discover a new theme each week, which is tied to the plants and animals that live at the Arboretum.  We’ll roam the Bartlett’s grounds from swamp to forest to greenhouse.  Along the way we will create art, complete hands-on investigations indoors and out, have lots of time to play, and enjoy nature together!

Complete nature immersion experiences for youth from June 25 - August 17.

Hours: 9:00 am - 3:00 pm
