About abo

a bunch of pocket guides are published by KVW Publications, printed by Colour Time Printing & Digital Imaging, and produced on the unceded territories of the Musqueam, Squamish, and Tsleil-Waututh Nations (so-called Vancouver, BC).

Discover flora through the artist's lens

Each issue covers a different plant family and includes submissions from artists with diverse interpretations and mediums, scientific information from published research, and symbolic meanings (or floriography). All of it in a small, foldable format.​

No expedition necessary

The pocket guide shows us the familiar but unexpected, as the artists get creative with nature's designs. May it bring new joy to plant lovers, cultivate curiosity about plants, and inspire the next generation of scientists to give botany a try.

FALL IN LOVE WITH PLANTS ALL OVER AGAIN

Printed artists are paid a $50 CAD honorarium each and all other submissions are published on this website in online exhibits.
