The Botanical Alphabet is a gardening and

typography project in which for each plant,

chosen from among the most beautiful

of the entire world's flora,

we have matched a typeface in an iconic

typographic style, for the pleasure of the soul

and mind and for a greener world.

A brand-new way to combine the joy of gardening

with the art of personal expression.

Spell out names, words, or special messages

with the eco-friendly seed packets,

each representing a letter of the alphabet.
