Challenge Yourself for: 30 days

Can you identify the wildflowers you see on hikes or local wanderings? Learning the names of flowers – and interesting facts about the way they grow and pollinate – is a rewarding pastime that takes your mind off how far you’re walking. Challenge yourself to grab a book about local blooms and hit the trail with friends.

(When logging progress for this challenge, only log as many days as you participated the activity within the 30-day timeframe.)

I learned two wildflower names during New York City Wildflower week.

This is a great way to get away from all the noise and craziness. The nice part is that you can explore a variety of locations from local parks to meadows and woods to see a wide variety of plants and flowers. An added bonus i that you will often see a variety of animals and birds. This is great exercise as well as a learning exercise for young and old alike.
