A practical guide to teaching plant life through observation and hands‑on study. This two‑year course helps teachers spark curiosity about nature by combining science with art, drawing from real plants the class can study together.
The book frames a clear, classroom‑tested approach to nature study. It blends plant observation with practical activities, encouraging students to gather specimens, observe closely, and relate what they see to broader topics in science and daily life.
- Learn how to plan and run lessons on seeds, germination, and plant growth, using real specimens and careful observation.
- Combine science with art through drawing, brushwork, and simple design projects that reinforce understanding.
- Develop classroom questions and guided investigations that promote independent thinking instead of rote memorization.
- Explore how plants store food, germinate, and differ between inside and outside growers, with activities you can adapt to your setting.
Ideal for teachers seeking a structured, hands‑on approach to plant life and a toolkit that blends science and art for young learners.

Excerpt from Observation Lessons on Plant Life: A Guide to the Teacher, a Two Year's Course of Nature Study
The following lessons are addressed in an informal manner now to the teacher and now to the pupil. The reasons for such irregular style are as follow - Playful phraseology is out of place in a teacher's book; but as his mere tool we feared this work would dismally fail to interest even himself. On the other hand, to address the pupils only and never the teacher would have meant producing a reader, and setting the children to think about commas and full stops and the meaning of words, when they ought to be asking questions and making discoveries concerning actual objects under observation.
Bailey, in his Lessons on Plants for American school children, is the only author, so far as we are aware, who as yet has written on our own lines; but his book not only deals With some unfamiliar plants, but it presupposes much greater intelligence than is ordinarily evinced by English country children. His questions sound, even to grown-up ears, like a series of riddles.

Excerpt from Observation Lessons on Plant Life: A Guide to the Teacher, a Two Year's Course of Nature Study
Little Brother, sunny nature-lover, you left us years ago; since then we have missed you in the fields, and the woods are more silent than they used to be. But we have found comfort in these humble studies, and should they help others to love the country as we loved it, then shall we have fitly dedicated them to your bright spirit.
