Chicago Botanic Garden, Lenhardt Library Coloring Book 2023
About the Chicago Botanic Garden, Lenhardt Library: Offering a comprehensive perspective on five centuries of research in botany, botanical art, horticulture, agriculture, gardening, and landscape design, the Lenhardt Library of the Chicago Botanic Garden Rare Book Collection presents an outstanding opportunity for scholars to chart the evolution of the modern science of botany—uncovering intricate relationships between science and art, botany and medicine, and humans and nature. These works also document U.S. flora at the time of European settlement, tracing the progression of our agrarian society and offering insights into nineteenth-century customs and values in which science, art, and nature intersect. The collection reflects a relationship between people and the plant kingdom that has been documented since the earliest days of print, when botanists were not simply plant describers, but explorers.
