Winter Talk: Stories from the 100 Plants Challenge

Come together to hear stories and experiences from the first year of the 100 Plants Challenge.

The 100 Plants Challenge was launched in 2026 as a gentle, year-long invitation for beginner botanists to identify and record the first 100 wild plants they discover over the course of the year. The challenge is designed to help build confidence and skills - one plant at a time.

Find out more about the plans to develop the Challenge in 2027, and about all the achievements of those that took part this year.
