These high-quality images are colorful digital web graphics (except for some black and white or sepia diagrams, maps, sketches or charts), are derived from vintage ephemera resources, and are generally collected, scanned, photographed, cropped or enhanced in some way to create higher quality images  and format for your personal use. I "curate" (catalogue and customize) and package the images as themed collections of  high-quality for your pages and personal projects.  

Note: As wonderful as the images are, they are  not created in a resolution suitable for printing without enhancement and resizing, using a graphics program. They are not to meant to be printed individually as graphics. You would need to create a properly sized printable graphic using templates for hardcopy printing, and using printer stationery/greeting card templates available as free downloads.

In some cases, you might want to use or download a graphics editor for editing imagery that needs cleanup, cropping or resizing to suit your own needs. Scans of book pages are generally not cropped. Sizes are assorted, some ephemera may have original marks, faint writing, age or fingerprint ghosting, signatures (on old greeting cards) etc. You will also need the ability to extract large sizes of .zip files and saving them to your computer files. Most systems do have a built-in zip file extractor. If not, you can easily find and download free .zip file apps from the web.

.Zip file downloads are regularly tested. We don't have a tech staff to help you if you cannot download. Please try emptying your computer's temporary files, trash bin, cookies folder, and check your security and anti-virus/malware settings to be sure that you can download files from the web, that you have room on your hard drive to download, extract and save the images. Best to do that before attempting the downloads. There is absolutely no refund for purchased packages that you cannot download or use. Once our premium graphics leave this site, they're technically out in the wild, and we have no idea of their ultimate destination.

Enjoy the graphics, enjoy your visit to the site, and be sure to visit occasionally for new stuff, more gardening articles, and garden designs. If graphics are used on your personal website or blog, links to this site are always welcome, so that others may enjoy it. Posting on image-harvesting sites such as Pinterest, Etsy or Flickr is not permitted.
