Hands-on learning in the historic Shaker Herb Garden.  Learn about planting, growing, harvesting, processing, and mixing your own herbal tea blends just like the Shakers have been doing in Maine since 1783! We'll tour the herb gardens, learn about medicinal and culinary uses of herbs, and then plant perennials and annuals.  Put your new herbal skills to use by blending your own custom tea to take home.

Please wear clothes & shoes that can get garden-dirty. Sunscreen, hats, bottled water, & bug spray recommended.  

 

Please note that this is not a drop-off activity. Troops should follow girl-to-adult ratios listed in Volunteer Essentials. Individual girls not attending as a troop should attend with an adult family member. 

 

We need at least 8 Girl Scouts to run this program.
