Herbaria | Pressed Plant Notecard Collection

This lovely set of 12 notecards and envelopes is inspired by the pressed plant collection of Beatrix Farrand. Poetic and serene, the pressed plants featured in this collection recall tranquil days spent observing nature. 

From the herbarium of pioneering landscape architect Beatrix Farrand, these delightful notecards celebrate the legacy of a master botanist. Beatrix Farrand (1872-1959) stands among the leading twentieth-century landscape architects. A founding member of the American Society for Landscape Architects, Farrand created more than two hundred private gardens and landscapes in the United States and Great Britain. She was also an expert archivist who pressed and preserved over nine hundred specimens from her garden in Maine.
