Support the Hyde Herbarium | University of Washington Botanic Gardens

Handmade notecards with a variety of spring and summer flowers

The Herbarium operations are funded significantly by your donations. We appreciate gifts of any amount as we work to expand the herbarium’s plant collection and continue our services to the public.

Donations may be made through the UW Foundation secure web form.

You may also support the Hyde Herbarium by purchasing handmade notecards featuring real pressed flowers and foliage from plants nearby, both wild and cultivated. These cards, blank inside, are suitable for sending birthday wishes, love, sympathy, or congratulations. They are also excellent for framing.

Cards are available in sets of five for $35. Each card is protected within a plastic sleeve and includes a matching envelope (4-3/8″ x 5-3/4″). Shipping anywhere within the U.S. is $10 for five to forty cards. Shipping will be based on zip code for larger orders.

We also have framed herbarium specimens available from $45 to $200. Unframed herbarium specimens (11-1/2″ x 16-1/2″) are $75. Shipping based on zip code.

The cards and herbarium specimens are hand made from naturally dried and pressed plants. The colors may fade over time, so it is best to keep them out of direct sunlight or humid environments.

Please email the herbarium manager, hydeherb@uw.edu, for currently available notecard selections, herbarium specimens, or with any questions.
