The Sainte-Anne-de-Bellevue Plant Scavenger Hunt lists 25 riddles that challenge you to identify various plant species. Use the accompanying map to find these plants in Sainte-Anne. Take a picture of yourself with the plant and post it to the McGill Herbarium Facebook page. Just to keep you on your toes, some plants bloom in early summer (May/June) and others in late summer (July/August). So, keep your eyes open, this scavenger hunt could take a whole growing season to complete!
Visit the McGill Herbarium website to find the list of clues and a map.
