Orto Botanico notebook in straw paper with colored pages, 12×17 cm, assorted colors.

The “Orto Botanico di Padova”, founded in 1545, is the world’s oldest university botanical garden — a unique place where history, science, and nature come together.

To honor this remarkable site, Arbos has created the “Orto Botanico” recycled notebook collection. The covers, made of 200 gsm Cartapaglia, are adorned with delicate hand-printed floral designs. Each notebook is made even more special with a label featuring botanical details from the “Codice Bonato”, an 18th-century manuscript preserved at the Padua Botanical Garden. All designs are produced under license from the University of Padua.

Available in eight refined colors, these recycled notebooks are a true delight for lovers of nature and botanical art. Inside, 48 neutral pages in Cartapaglia, color-matched to the cover, provide the ideal space for thoughts, sketches, or notes. A perfect blend of tradition and sustainability for those who love to write, inspired by the beauty of nature.
