Wonderful Wildflowers

New Plant Restoration Activity Now Available
The "Wonderful Wildflowers" activity will give your students the chance to help restore California native plants to our local landscape. With this activity your students will learn why native plants are important and then have the chance to plant some of their own! After folding and decorating their own seed envelopes, students will place a few spoonfulls of soil mixture into their envelope then add a pinch of local wildflower seed to take home and plant.

This activity comes with background information and instructions for teachers, an envelope-making sheet to photocopy for each student, and a small bag of wildflower seed. We can provide a bag soil mix (pictured) or you can use your own (you will need about 3-4 cups total).

Late winter and early spring are the best times to sow wildflower seed. Please let us know if you would like this activity for your classroom!
