Use herbs & plants for team building
South Africa and even worldwide for many people and the economy!
We have been thrown curveballs from each and every corner and motivation in
many is now at an all-time low.
Granny Mouse Country House & Spa and the conferencing team see that many
companies need to try and help break that cycle.
Many businesses during 2020 and into 2021 had to deal with so many changes,
as did we in the hospitality industry.
As many companies who have also embraced the full time work from home
policy, it's also important to still engage with one's employees and with
that being said, here at Granny Mouse is the perfect place for companies to
enjoy some unique team building exercises while following strict protocol
practices in the Midlands.
We believe that creative exercises can help make the soul smile and bring
some positive memories in these trying times so what about considering this
for your company which will assist in increasing productivity and bringing
back some comradery.
Some super awesome ideas that will have you tapping into your creativity
while enjoying the fresh clean country air includes:
. Have a floral arranging workshop, fun for both the women and men in
your office. It's sustainable and super environmentally friendly and you can
get to pick some of the flora from our beautiful gardens.
. For those who always complain they can kill any plant, what about
learning how to plant your own mixed herb plants. The team gets a mixture of
different herbs, a really colourful pot plus a saucer and potting soil. One
can learn how to pot up easily and to maintain this special herb garden
which can then go back to the office or home and hopefully it continues to
thrive.
. Sticking with herbs and plants, what about doing some foraged art,
where members of your team can make art with what you find and finding art
in what you see. Find some leaves, sticks, branches and even herbs and make
some beautiful shapes and forms and even make a picture. Every image will be
so different and you can hang on your wall when you back at the office. Just
remember, to respect nature and take what you see growing in abundance and
maybe even use weeds that can actually be really beautiful.
The real beauty about this team building exercise is that you end up with a
gift that lasts and can all be placed at your office desk or home as a
reminder of this amazing experience.
