Winter, spring, summer, or fall, there is one subject perfect for any wall: those leafy green botanical prints that bring the outdoors in for a display of greenery year round. Botanical illustrations have been around for centuries but their appeal remains timeless, even as modern artists find new ways to express the features of leaves we love in sketch or watercolor or digital forms.
It’s universally known that the effect of green plants on humans is stress reducing. If you lack a green thumb for keeping the real ones alive indoors or simply have a desire to surround yourself with leafy plants, look to art and illustrations to make it so.
I attempted my own version of framed ferns years ago, they were simple and pretty and lasted about a year but eventually because of their organic nature and lack of any preservative turned brown, boo. Oh well, there are hundreds of alternatives.
The options for display vary; keep it classic with a balanced set of prints hung equidistant from each other or opt for an artful arrangement of botanical prints in an asymmetrical display. I’m inspired by botanicals framed traditionally as well as modern gallery wall collections.

I found several Etsy shops/artists who offer leafy green botanicals, if a symmetrical gallery appeals to you, embrace the tropical trend with a set of palm prints from Beach House Gallery.
Or purchase a series of classic fern prints from Pixie Pixels.
Find cactus and succulent art at Color Zen.
Find another great collection of fern prints at Botanical Prints Shop.
Or download these free fern printables from The Painted Hive.
Perhaps an eclectic display is more your style?
Below are a few Etsy shops that sell both individual and sets of botanical prints:
