Participants will about using their senses and mindfulness skills by interacting with different garden plants. They would also learn about relaxation associated with nature/plants. In the workshop, they would be instructed how to plant a little seedling, like a tomato, basil or flower and then use their mindfulness skills in observing the seedlings (for instance: the basil smells like this, the flower has these colors, etc). Each participant could then take the plant home.

This workshop is for kids ages 9-16.
