The Flora and Fauna Illustrata [FFI] collection is the Andersen Horticultural Library's ongoing project to document all the species of plants, animals, insects, and fungi living at the Minnesota Landscape Arboretum through scientifically accurate fine art. The FFI collection is currently made up of over 90 juried two-dimensional works of art donated by over 30 different artists, many of whom are local.
An exhibit — currently on display at the Elmer L. Andersen Library on the West Bank of the Twin Cities campus — features selected outstanding works from the FFI collection, from aspens and butterflies to turtles and water lilies, as well as process materials from FFI artists.
