Let’s turn a simple walk into a mini nature adventure.
We’ll be outside in the sun, getting some easy exercise, and using a plant ID app to discover, identify, and document the plants and flowers we see along the way. It’s surprisingly fun. You point your phone at a leaf or flower, the app helps identify it, and you can save what you find like your own little nature journal.
Free to help, but you must pre-register here and sign a waiver:

What makes this event awesome:
- It feels like a scavenger hunt, but for plants and flowers
- You’ll learn a ton without it feeling like “homework”
- It’s a great excuse to get outside and move your body
- You’ll leave with a photo log of what you found, plus new plant knowledge
- We are joining hundreds of cities across the world
### What to bring:
- Your phone (with the plant ID app downloaded, if you want)
- Water, sunscreen, hat, sunglasses
- Comfortable walking shoes
- Curiosity and a little patience while we stop to scan cool plants
We’ll keep it chill and beginner-friendly. No plant knowledge needed. If you’ve ever walked past something pretty and thought “what IS that?” this is for you.
