The Wooden Library in Alnarp


The Wooden Library

Oak (Quercus robur). Inside the "book" are dried leaves, flowers, fruits, seedlings, a piece of the root, cut branches, and a small box with pollen. In a compartment inside the spine lies a delicately written description of the tree, its biology and its practical use.
