A Natural World of Words

I have been walking in the countryside a lot this spring and at the same time I have entered a world of words! The reason for this is that I have become hooked on a plant recognition app which allows me to put a name to any of the dozens of species present on even a short walk. This ability to learn about the natural environment is very satisfying, but there are so many plant names that it feels like being a beginner learning a new language! Actually, language describing nature is very important in English, in both the literal and figurative sense. Click on the image below to learn more with our latest quiz!
