When you’re doing a nature study or teaching your kids about plants, plant identification apps can be helpful. These apps are perfect for identifying plants you see on a nature walk or showing your kids pictures and descriptions of specific plants you are discussing.
I have a list of these apps for you today that you can explore. Some of these apps are simply plant guides for your phone or tablet. Others have visual recognition software that can be used with your phone’s camera to identify a plant.
