winter finds, by dimsum, bagels, and crawfish
We’re sharing our nature collections over on the Heywood’s Meadow flickr group — so much beautiful inspiration! If you have a nature collection or nature display, we hope you’ll come share it, too!

I also love this beach collection by graygoosie!
These beautiful displays are really a provocation for children (and adults!) to examine them more closely and perhaps draw them, leisurely identify them in field books, etc., when they’re back at home. It’s something every amateur naturalist needs!

A lovely inspiration.
Found your site the other week, and I love it! Love these ideas. I have a spare jar and I think I'm going to use it for a nature collection, as you suggest. Thanks for the ideas!
Oh, Fionna will be happy to see her display here!
Thanks Lori!
thank you, adrienne! :^)
thank you, sarah! :^)
dawn, thank *you* for sharing your beautiful photos, and yay fionna! :^D)
now *those* are inspirational. I'm surely going to put our little pine cone collection on display now that I've seen these. and I need to find a way to show off our gorgeous snippet of turkey tail fungus. thanks to all who are sharing! -Nancy in NC
I love seeing the different plates, dishes and containers people use to display their treasures...lovely. x
