About the Book
Inspired by the gardens and seasonal observations of Hilltop Botanicals, this journal encourages young explorers to slow down, look closely, and learn from the natural world around them.
Children can study the parts of flowers and leaves, create leaf and bark rubbings, follow the life cycle of a plant, track a seed as it grows, watch garden pollinators, record the weather, complete a botanical scavenger hunt, and imagine their own herbal tea blend.
The book also includes ten guided field-note pages and a Junior Botanist certificate to celebrate the child’s completed exploration.
