Herbarium Label - HANDOUT

Key to the value of maintaining an herbarium are the records associated with each plant specimen. To maintain consistent information about the plants in your herbarium, a label can be affixed to the specimen plate to complete a permanent record of each plant. Feel free to copy and use the herbarium label shown here OR click here for a printable version with 4 per page: http://www.oldgarden.com/HerbariumLabels4.pdf.   For more information about creating herbariums: http://oldgardensolutions.blogspot.com/2013/07/creating-herbarium-for-your-garden.html.


NOTE: The "habitat" field is used to record the type of soil/climate the plants was found in; the "growth" field can be used to indicate the nature of the plant's growth, i.e., shrub, vine, etc.
