This year especially - FAMILY IS EVERYTHING
Hello - I'm Margot Newton
My daughter Annie Peterson and I are the creative minds behind www.FamilyBotanic.com – a new Canadian start-up that offers the world a whole new way to showcase a family tree : with vintage 19th Century Botanical Art.
The idea came to us as we searched for the perfect gift for our Nana’s 90th birthday.
We thought: Nana loves her family. And she loves botanical prints. So why not give her both?”
A Family Botanic “botanical family tree” stands out as a one-of-a-kind gift not only because it’s customized to your family but also because it’s fashioned out of authentic botanical art of the 18th and 19th century – pre-eminent historical prints of both plant life and wildlife from around the world.
The result is a classic and timeless framed piece of art that makes for the perfect gift and an elegant addition to any home.
Usually family trees look like org charts : boxes with names arranged in the standard but boring hierarchy. Our family trees are more like art – framed, classical botanical prints that have stood the test of time.
Family Botanic offers a variety of beautiful solutions. From wildflowers to butterflies … even whales and tropical fish. Families choose from over 25 artful designs. Patrons fill out a simple form with family members’ names and a framed print is shipped directly to them.
Designs accommodate both smaller families (two or three generations of about 12 people) or larger families that span multiple generations with 30+ members. Some start with the Grandparents or Great Grandparents and depict all their Descendants. Others start with a couple or individual, and go back in time to showcase Ancestors
A special, memorable gift with meaning that doubles as an attractive and classic print to be cherished for years.
It’s the history of your family AND the beauty of botanical art.
