The Andersen Horticultural Library is a reading and reference library specializing in horticulture, botany and natural history. We are the only horticultural research library in the Upper Midwest, with our collection including more than 16,000 volumes and 350 periodicals.
The Library serves many users ranging from University faculty and students to visitors to the Minnesota Landscape Arboretum. As part of being a resource on plants, we have published horticultural books and six editions of Andersen Horticultural Library's Source List of Plants and Seeds. We maintain an online service and database Plant Information Online , that provides information on nurseries, plant sources, plant citations, and other links.
