A complete journey from soil to silhouette. This bundle combines a wooden flower press with ten seed varieties chosen specifically because they press beautifully — paper-thin petals, flat faces, and low moisture content. Everything needed to grow your own art garden, harvest the blooms, and preserve them forever as botanical keepsakes.

The Press

A standard wooden flower press with heavy-duty bolts, wingnuts, cardboard dividers, and blotting paper — everything needed to start pressing immediately.

How to Use Your Press

Pick on a dry sunny afternoon — moisture from rain or morning dew causes mould. Layer inside the press: cardboard, blotting paper, flower, blotting paper, cardboard — then repeat. Screw the wingnuts down tight for even pressure. Leave for 2–4 weeks in a warm dry room without opening — patience is what guarantees the best colour retention.

Arrives ready to gift — the rustic charm of a press combined with the promise of a garden in a box. A truly sustainable gift that lasts a lifetime.
