Plant Drawings

You can’t step very far outside your home without encountering a plant. For many of us, they can also be found in most of our sunnier windows. This public domain collection of plant drawings comes from a myriad of sources but primarily vintage children’s books and magazines.

The Plant Drawings category, however, is not the only place on Reusable Art where you can find plant images. Flowers and flowering plants are filed under Flower Images, herbs can be found under Herb Drawings in the Food section and trees can be found in the Tree Images category.

Hopefully, we’ve got you covered for all of your plant drawing needs. If not, check back again sometime soon as we will continually be adding public domain plant drawings as we discover them.
