Founded in 1893, Phipps Conservatory and Botanical Gardens in Pittsburgh is a green leader among public gardens with a mission to inspire and educate all with the beauty and importance of plants, advance sustainability through action and research, and celebrate its historic glasshouse.

We’ve worked with Phipps since 2013, when we began to bring their regular publications—their quarterly newsletter + program catalog—into the fold of their then newly established brand.

“Grow” is a 6in x 11in 30-page catalog of classes and programs the organization updates and releases three times a year. “Thrive” is Phipps’ quarterly newsletter for their members that utilizes bright, seasonal colors and showcases their beautiful photography.

Phipps also had our agency lead the design process for events they’ve held in the past—a garden dinner party and an Indian-inspired masquerade party in their historic glasshouse. Each project involved establishing the design direction and overall inspiration with the client, multiple design + layout options up front, and custom illustration to establish the distinct visual brand for each event.
