The Florida Wildflower Foundation recently announced official release of their 139-page Wild About Wildflowers!–A Classroom Activity Guide for Florida third and fourth-grade students. The guide outlines hands-on activities for lessons in how plants reproduce, adapt to their environments and interact in ecosystems with insects, animals and other plants. Activities have been designed to meet third and fourth-grade standards but can be adapted to other grade levels and used in other educational settings such as public parks. This new guide is a natural compliment to the use of wildflowers in outdoor classrooms — supported by Florida Wildflower Foundation grants to schools.

The guide was produced with donations made through the Florida State Wildflower license plate sales and the Florida Wildflower Foundation.
