For kids, summer means long days outside — running barefoot, climbing trees, digging in the dirt, and exploring the world around them. But, along with all that magic, often comes bug bites, bee stings, and even itchy skin.In this hands-on class for families and young children, Herbalist Christina Winters of Wych’s Bloom will teach participants how to make a soothing summer salve using a powerful medicinal plant growing all around us — one most people walk past every day without realizing its incredible ability to calm irritated skin and support the body after bites and stings. Families will also learn about a few easy-to-recognize medicinal plants commonly found on the East End that have long been used for first aid.Families will discover how common backyard and trail-side plants can become part of a simple summer first-aid kit, then create and take home their own herbal salve perfect for outdoor adventures.​**In addition to the family workshop, 30 minutes of a barnyard visit and animal feeding plus open play are included.**
