Jenny is an experienced ESL teacher, wildcrafter, and apprentice clinical herbalist who has been leading plant walks at Sonairte in County Meath since 2022. Jenny’s work through Heritage in Schools aims to enable primary school students to get to know their natural environment by observing plant shapes and colours and learning to identify the plants as they change through the seasons and their life cycles. We introduce the different plant families and students learn how to place plants in their different categories. We also look at the plants mentioned in Irish mythologies to understand the personalities of plants and the roles that they have played in our individual and collective lives.
