Wonderful Wildflowers Now Has A Slideshow

Fall rains mean that the conditions are right to get your wildflower seed started! Wonderful Wildflowers is an activity that will help teach students about the importance of plants, and especially native plants, to our ecosystem. Your students will create their own wildflower seed packets which they can fill with a few spoonfuls of soil and a few pinches of wildflower seed to scatter at home or school.

Winter and early spring are the best times to sew wildflower seed, so you have plenty of time to plan for this activity. Wonderful Wildflowers would also be a great rainy day activity.

New this year, we have a short powerpoint slideshow that you can share with your students to help introduce this activity. Click on these links to access and download your Wonderful Wildflower materials: Instructions , Envelope , Slideshow
