Get ready to become a nature detective! Make observations, be curious and discover different ways that plants, animals, places and people are all connected!
You might like to check these off, draw, write or record your discoveries in a book or journal so you can track your thinking and see how your observations grow over time.
In botanic gardens, there are lots of things to see, smell, listen to and gently feel. Remember to touch gently, and return anything you pick up to where you found it.
Use this sensory scavenger hunt to wander the garden with curiosity, using your senses to notice the many ways plants, animals and people share this space. Visit us again or complete this task back at your home, or in your own community if you can’t find and feel everything in one day.
Tick off each experience as you find it and take note of how it might make you feel from connecting with nature around you!
Each card invites you to pause, notice, and reconnect through nature-inspired mindfulness.
You may like to print this page double sided and cut out the cards to keep on your desk at work or on the kitchen table for the whole family to use! Find extensions to each Nature Nudge on the back.
Designed to be used by people of all ages and repeated across the changing seasons, you may like to take part in these moments as a family, with loved ones or take time to reconnect by yourself.
Research shows that time in nature can reduce stress hormones, improve mood, concentration and support overall wellbeing. Even short periods in green spaces can have measurable benefits.
We've also developed a fun Bird Search you can use to help you on your visit to a botanic garden or natural space.
