Hemulen's Herbarium written in Finnish

Explore plants and learn about Finnish nature inspired by Hemulen. The book openings about plants drawn in Hemulen-like precision and intriguing anecdotes make this book an inspiring plant opus for all ages!

Familiarize yourself with Finland's most common plants with Hemulen's guidance. Find, pick, dry and store plants from your own yard, nearby meadow or a forest to add them into this book as well. 

Hemulen's Herbarium has interesting plant information and classic drawings of about a hundred common plants in Finland. Did you know that ferns have been spreading their spores since the time of the dinosaurs? Or that mosses have tiny rhizomes instead of roots?

This book will teach you about different forest types and other biotopes, which have been compiled in the style of old educational boards. There are also instructions for pressing and collecting plants, as well as empty openings for your own plant treasures.

The Herbarium is illustrated by Tove Jansson's original illustrations. This picturesque book has strings on its covers, so you can keep the book closed by tying it.
