Long ago I tried a "what do we do with all this mint"--a hands-on class
of making tea, alcohol extracts, salves etc.--where part of the point
was what was involved in working with herbs.  It was a beginner class,
and I had a remarkably hard time getting people to do anything beyond
sit and listen. Have people done hands-on more successfully? 

(Don't do it where they don't like leaf-bits on the floor, by the way.)
