Join us for storytime and craft with local herbalist and author, Juliet Howard, who will be sharing a reading of her new book, The Girl Whose Garden Comes Alive - a beautifully illustrated chapter book about the magical plants that live in many of our backyards.

This book will deepen a child’s relationship to nature, their sense of place, and provide them with practical information about herbalism. Through the main character, Freyja, and her many adventures, children will learn about some of the plants to reach for and connect with when they get a bee sting, scrape their knee, or feel anxious. This book introduces a series of plants, along with plant recipes and preparations, and mindful ways for children to begin to connect with plants.

After story time, we will craft our own dream pillows full of aromatic herbs to kick off your child’s relationship to herb crafting . Hope to see you there!

This event is best suited for children ages 5-11 and their families, but anyone is welcome!
