Our world is full of several amazingly outrageous plants. We'll learn about a couple of them in this slightly spooky homeschool nature study! This episode focuses on the black bat flower and sandbox tree, two stunning exotic plants. You'll be encouraged to head outdoors to find some unique plants in your own area, too!  Supplies for the nature study challenge: Nature journal or blank, white paper Markers  For show notes and episode downloads, go to ourjourneywestward.com/weird-plants-nature-study. ← Find pictures of a black bat flower and sandbox tree here.
