An Introduction to the Art of Pressing Flowers

Although the art of pressing flowers dates back to much earlier times, it is still popular today. The Tower Hill Botanic Garden is hosting "An Introduction to the Victorian Art of Pressing Flowers" on Saturday, March 19 from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m.

Pressing flowers in books provides the best way to preserve the natural beauty of every plant. Learn about this ancient art and participate in a "hands-on" flower-pressing session. Learn to create a garden journal for recording and preserving your garden favorites to enjoy all year long. Journal pages will be provided and a journal cover will be created in class.

The cost is $30 for members and $35 for non-members $35. All materials are included.
