FOR THE LOVERS OF
Plants, folklore & old-world correspondence
Somewhere beyond the ordinary sits an old school devoted to the study of plants, remedies, folklore, and stranger things that grow in glasshouses after dark. One student has begun writing home. Each month, another piece of their story arrives with the specimen they are studying.

WHAT IS
Herbology Post?
Herbology Post is a monthly story told through real mail. You are following an unnamed student studying at a mysterious school of herbology, one letter, one lesson, and one botanical specimen at a time.
The student’s identity, classmates, professors, school traditions, mistakes, discoveries, and larger mystery unfold slowly through their letters home. The field guides and collectibles are the very materials surrounding that story.

I thought the greenhouse would be frightening after sunset, but the glass turns silver beneath the moon and every leaf seems to whisper when the lamps are extinguished...
With all my love —
THE HEART OF HERBOLOGY POST
Letters Home
This isn’t just a plant subscription. It is an unfolding correspondence. Every envelope contains a new handwritten letter from the same mystery student as they live, study, make friends, get into trouble, and uncover the secrets of their unusual school.
October may begin with a first lesson. Months later, a name mentioned in passing may matter. A professor may be hiding something. A forbidden greenhouse may suddenly become important. The story rewards people who keep the letters.
WHAT ARRIVES EACH MONTH
Inside the Envelope
The Field Guide
A richly illustrated plant study with anatomy, growing conditions, historical context, folklore, traditional uses, and modern research notes.
The Trading Card
A numbered collectible specimen card. Every monthly card has a 1-in-5 chance of arriving as a holographic variant.
The Letter Home
The next chapter of the mystery student’s story, written home from school. Friends, professors, rumors, mishaps, clues, and secrets carry from month to month. Keep the letters — details may matter later.
The Postcard
A botanical postcard designed to keep, display, write on, or mail to someone else.
Two Stickers
Two illustrated botanical stickers inspired by the month’s specimen and the Herbology Post archive.
THE SECRET RARE
1 in 12 envelopes
One in every twelve envelopes includes an additional Secret Rare card alongside the month’s standard specimen.
YOUR FIRST FIELD STUDY
The specimen remains a mystery.
Each month’s specimen is tied to the student’s current lesson or adventure, but the plant stays hidden until the envelope reaches you. You discover it at the same moment their newest letter opens the next chapter.
No spoilers. The lesson arrives by owl — or, for now, by USPS.

Pick a PlanSOMEWHERE BEYOND THE ORDINARY
A school you only know through the mail.
There is no map. No complete handbook. No neat page explaining every house, professor, corridor, greenhouse, rule, or tradition. You learn the school the way a family at home would: from what the student chooses to write down.
