Add a touch of greenery to your home with these ready-to-print free fern botanical prints. 

Fern Botanical Printables

You know the Abba song Fernando? I know it, perhaps better than most. My father, Fernando, was born and raised in Cuba. He came to here as a young teen without his parents. A Peter Pan child with the new name American nick name of Fern (for short.) I think about my father’s journey often but I can never go too deep in my mind. It must have been incredibly scary leaving your home country, unable to speak a foreign language, and leaving home without your parents. If I put myself there, emotionally, I cannot handle it. I pull back in my head… anyone else a first generation American with a heroing account of their parents leaving their home country?

Now on to fern prints. I realize I got off topic. Ferns remind me of non other, my dad. These resilient plants are lush, beautiful and stand out. They grow best in tropical, moist climates or they can grow beautifully in your home with this freebie!  These fern prints are for your own use. I had a few spots in my home that needed some green and these prints were an excellent touch. Print them for your wall frame or print hem and use them on a bookshelf frame as an added pop of green.

Not many supplies are needed for this project.

Fern Botanical Printables Supplies:

• Cardstock
• Set of 3 fern botanical printables (see below)

You also will want some adorable frames. These are 8.5 x 11 vertical prints but can be trimmed to 8 x 10. I would recommend getting a nice farmhouse wooden frame or hanging them on letter size clipboards for a different look.
