The New York Botanical Garden’s LuEsther T. Mertz Library<\/a> is home to a trove of botanical treasures\u2014and not just of the written variety. Our Library also contains one of the country’s most extensive collections of nursery and seed catalogs, windows into the rich history of botany and horticulture that are valued as much for their incredible artwork as for their academic uses.<\/p>\n

Thanks to a partnership with the U.S. Postal Service, you can now bring a bit of that art home in the form of 10 colorful new postage stamps from the Botanical Art Forever<\/a><\/em> collection. Each one boasts a piece of artwork from a catalog published as early as the Garden’s founding in 1891 and up into the early 20th century. They’ll be available nationwide, so keep an eye out!<\/p>\n
