There's something special about preserving a little piece of the garden.
A handful of cosmos gathered on a summer morning. The delicate petals of a favorite flower. A bloom saved from a meaningful occasion.
Flower pressing allows us to preserve those little moments and transform them into something beautiful.
At Wendland Family Farm, we love finding ways to enjoy the flowers we've grown long after the growing season has ended. Pressed flowers are a wonderful way to create botanical artwork, handmade keepsakes, and meaningful gifts using flowers and foliage from your own garden.
Harvest & Home: Pressed Flower Art is a 42-page educational guide sharing practical methods for growing, harvesting, pressing, preserving, and creating with flowers.
