Urban Botanics
This collection of stunning illustrations accompanied by thoughtful information is an essential source of inspiration. Whether you are looking to cultivate an entire indoor garden, or simply wish to know more about your single cactus, amongst the seventy-five plants within Urban Botanics you can be sure to find the right information for you.
Each plant is rendered in considered detail from the graceful paintbrush of Maaike Koster, accompanied by text from Emma Sibley on its origins, care tips and any information about fellow species.
The joy of these plants is that they are easy to maintain, and everyone has access to them – you no longer need to have a back garden to turn your hand to this green-fingered pastime.
Succulents, cacti, flowering and foliage plants are growing everywhere; in our homes, work places, bars and shops. Their ubiquity is adding interest, tranquillity and colour in every corner of our lives.
Across these different plants, originating from every corner of the world, Maaike and Emma have collected a wide variety to tempt even the most timid of gardeners. For those with a full-time job along with everything else, Urban Botanics is made to fit alongside our modern-day schedules.
Even if the closest you ever get to one of these plants is turning these pages, you will find much to admire in the striking illustrations. A must for lovers of art and verdant foliage alike.
Sustainability and quality are at the heart of everything we do. All art prints are produced locally in collaboration with specialized printers who combine craftsmanship with environmentally conscious practices. We use only FSC-certified paper, chlorine-free bleached (ECF), with a subtle texture that evokes the look and feel of fine watercolor paper, adding a sense of depth and luxury.
All art is carefully packed by us in our warehouse, either flat or rolled, with great attention to detail. We do our utmost to ensure every order is securely packaged so it arrives safely.
We ship worldwide. All orders are dispatched from our warehouse in Heemstede, The Netherlands, except for XL sizes, which are produced and shipped locally by our printing partners in The Netherlands and Germany.
All shipments include track & trace. Tracking information will be sent to you in a separate email from our shipping partner once your order has been dispatched.
We aim to carefully pack and ship your order (if in stock) as quickly as possible, within 2–5 business days.
XL-sizes (from 60×80 cm and up) are not kept in standard stock and therefore have a longer production and delivery time; please allow approximately 5–10 business days.
Some countries, remote areas, or islands may experience longer delivery times. We cannot take responsibility for delays beyond our control, such as customs processing, carrier delays, or shipments to remote locations.
When you purchase an art print and frame in matching sizes, we will frame it for free. Please note that when a print is mounted to a matching passepartout, we secure it with framing tape, making it difficult to replace the print in the future.
