FOLIO I — THE STORE

Specimens, vessels and the tools to keep them.

Each listing carries its catalogue number, its family or material, the vessel it arrives in and how it likes to be kept — the same record the Atlas keeps.

FOLIO II · III — THE ATLAS AND THE FINDER

Begin with the light you have.

Each species is recorded the way a herbarium would keep it: family, origin, light, water and temperament. Choose the light in your room and the drawer narrows to what will thrive there.

FOLIO IV — THE JOURNAL

FOLIO V — GARDEN STUDIES

Rooms and courtyards, planted and measured.
