Connecting children to nature
The Herb World books and DIY Kits (soon to be released) give children an inspiring glimpse into life in Herb World and practical tips on how they can use nature in their own lives.
Herb World also actually exists (not just in the books and children's imaginations). You can discover Elven Hill, Fairy Forest, Gnome Island, The Hut and the Sanctuary, all nestled amongst the beautiful gardens at The Herb Farm, Ashhurst, New Zealand.
