Samenvatting:

"If you have a garden in your library, everything will be complete." - Marcus Tullius Cicero, Letter to Varro, 1st Century AD

An herbarium is more than a collection of dried plants. It is a record of what grew in a specific place and time. It becomes an important historical catalogue. The plants are artfully arranged and elegantly preserved.

The Eternal Summer of Alberta's Herbarium presents over sixty gorgeous plant specimens collected from the region by aspiring students in the Organic Master Gardener Program at the Multicultural Heritage Centre in Stony Plain, Alberta.

This collection presents insightful thoughts of Master Gardener Mark Stumph-Allen and the stunning imagery of his students captured by artist Alexis Marie Chute.
