Connect with nature in a new way through flower pressing! In this beginner workshop, artist, Bri Rossi, will guide you through her tips and tricks for creating beautiful pressed plants. Each workshop attendee will receive a handmade reusable flower press and we’ll fill it up with plants! We’ll cover how to use a flower press, what plants press best, where to find plants and fun ideas for how to use the plants you preserve. If the weather permits we’ll take a short walk around the arboretum to identify plants that press well.
