Local Wildflowers

Introducing our little art piece on Local Wildflowers! With this guide, it will help you identify and learn about the unique names and characteristics of wildflowers in our area. Wildflowers are all around us, patiently awaiting discovery!

In Charlotte Mason’s approach, wildflower study was not merely about memorising names or facts but about fostering a deep appreciation and understanding of the natural world. She believed that by observing and interacting with wildflowers, children could develop a sense of wonder, curiosity, and appreciation for nature.

• Describe the shape, size, and placement of the leaves.
• Note whether there is a single blossom or a head of flowers.
• Observe the flower and its habitat so well that it can be recognized in any location in the future.
• Use a field guide to learn about the wildflower (with help from a parent if needed).
• Collect, press, and make a record of the flower’s habitat and location.
• Optional: Make a watercolor of the flower or the whole plant.
