Wildflowers

We went on a wildlflower walk to the Hillfort with expert Miles King who does some work for the Duchy, Plantlife and Natural England. He showed the children how to find seeds on a buttercup (they look like a pineapple). The children collected these in their cups and then walked back to the Greatfield to sow them where the wildflowers were growing.

Miles challenged the children to have go themsleves with an adult and see if they could find anymore buttercup seeds to sow on the Great Field.

Can you identify any wildlfowers near where you live? Can you go on a Wildflower walk to identify some wildflowers too? Just like Rafi did below.

Here is an idenfication sheet to help you. You could also use the iNaturalist app https://www.inaturalist.org/
