Participants will have the opportunity to learn about how certain scents can give rise to different emotions. For instance, lavender provides a scent that can stabilize the mood, promoting a sense of calmness and well being when a person is feeling stressed. Last summer, the Garden grew many wonderfully scented herbs and harvested them. During this winter session, participants will get the chance to make potpourri sachets from these dried herbs.

Participants will learn which plants are the best to propagate and get a lesson on basic indoor plant care. During the session participants will be putting together their own creative planters from cuttings.
