Designed by Devon Ba Dour

Students studying Surface Design at the University of Minnesota represented the diversity of life at the University of Minnesota Landscape Arboretum through print. Inspired by rare books from the Andersen Horticultural Library, the students created work celebrating the Library, the Arboretum, and the wildlife within.
