The University of Minnesota Landscape Arboretum is home to archives of plants: living, preserved, and artistically rendered on the page. Explore the intersection of science and art through three plant collections: the living plants growing in the gardens, the pressed plant specimens of the herbarium, and the Flora and Fauna Illustrata collection of botanical art. Each collection serves a vital role in preserving the future of biodiversity – the variety of life – in Minnesota and beyond.
