Emily dickinson flowers

The reclusive poet Emily Dickinson was a devoted gardener and lover of flowers. Now the New York Botanical Garden in the Bronx has re-created Dickinson's gardens, with poems placed between beds of flowers.

Emily Dickinson pressed flower botanicals in her herbarium via Gardenista

Long before Dickinson started writing poems, she took on the art of botany. As a young girl she enjoyed gathering, growing, classifying, and pressing of flowers. Each page is patiently assembled and beautifully composed just like what her poetry would become. The herbarium is located in the Emily Dickinson Room at Harvard’s Houghton Rare Book…

So many writers have been gardeners and have written about gardens that it might be easier to make a list of those who didn’t. But even in this crowded company, Emily Dickinson stands out.
