Herbal Profile Template
A 2 page herbal profile template for reviewing each herb. Great for homeschoolers who like to do note booking, or anyone who would like to keep a shortened version, similar to a herbarium but more kid friendly.
Herbal Mascot
Pick a plant that grows nearby, either in your back yard or at a local park, to focus on this year. Is there a plant that you’ve seen every year but never bothered to get to know? A plant that catches your eye but you never think twice about? How about a tree that you never took the time to get to know? Adopt it as your herbal mascot! This worksheet works great as a starting point for the Herbal Profile Template.
