Spring 2022 - Garden Collection

GREETING CARD SETS

Gardens are as old as humankind. They refresh us, inspire us and give us joy. We cultivate them and develop new colors and shapes and sizes of plants. We pass down cultivars like heirlooms, and specimen-envy has caused fierce battles. Artists capture their beauty for us in painting, drawings, botanical studies and decoration. We have collected specimens of that wonderful art for many years and love to bring it to the public view.

In Gratitude for the wonder of gardens in all their infinite variety we have gathered together a group of products that celebrate the beauty of fruits and flowers.
