What is Herbology Hunt?
Herbology Hunt is the junior arm of Wild Flower Hour. It's an informal partnership between #wildflowerhour and the Wild Flower Society. and is supported by BSBI.
There is a spotter sheet for each month of the year, showing five wild flowers to try and find that month. Scroll down to view or download the spotter sheets - and then see if you can find the five wild flowers! We hope you will share what you’ve found on Twitter or Instagram using the #herbologyhunt hashtag, or in our HerbologyHunt Facebook group.
Please note that it is no longer possible to receive a free handlens or T-shirt as stated on the spotter sheets - sorry!
