Herb Detectives: Helping Children Discover Your Hotel's Herb Garden

Many hotels already have herb gardens that supply fresh ingredients to their restaurants while supporting their sustainability and culinary initiatives. Filled with fragrant herbs and carefully tended throughout the year, these gardens are valuable spaces—but for many children, they simply look like another collection of plants.

Family Translation helps reveal the stories already growing there. By encouraging children to smell, touch, identify and explore different herbs, a simple walk through the garden becomes an opportunity for discovery. Along the way, children begin to understand where flavours come from, how ingredients are grown, and the important role the garden plays in the hotel's culinary and sustainability story.
