Learn to Press Flowers (Sept 13)

There’s something special about finding a way to keep a little piece of the season long after the flowers in the field have faded. Join Emily in the flower field on Sunday, September 13th at 1 pm to learn the art of pressing flowers. We’ll start with the basics — what makes a flower a good candidate for pressing, how a flower press works, and a few tips for getting beautiful results. Then, we’ll head into the field together to choose flowers from the season to press and preserve. You’ll leave with your own flower press to take home, ready to keep filling with flowers as the seasons change — turning little pieces of the garden into something you can enjoy for years to come.
