Workshop on Herbs

A workshop on herbs was held at the Woodhouse farm, Ooty on the 1st of September. Fifteen students from the Blue Mountain School attended this workshop along with some members of the NNHS. The workshop started off with a talk by Dr. Selvaraj (TNAU) on improving our quality of life by eating healthy and combatting common ailments with the use of herbal remedies. This was followed by a visit to the nursery and a walk around the 12.6-acre organic farm. During the walk the participants got to sample some of the herbs growing on the farm and also enjoyed three different herbal decoctions.
