Preserve the Beauty of your Garden
Pressing and drying flowers is one of the oldest, simplest, and best ways to preserve the beauty of the garden. During the Victorian era, ladies transformed the pressing of flowers into an art form, creating personalized floral embellishments on stationery and other decorative household articles. The Victorians' passion for gardens and their love of elaborate decorative arts found the perfect outlet in flower pressing. Since then the art has continued to thrive, and with new methods and materials available, it continues to grow in simplicity and popularity.
