SUMMARY:The Art of Pressed Flowers and Dried Botanicals
DESCRIPTION:Join us for this exciting new workshop where we will explore the art of flower pressing\, drying\, and decorative uses as well as botanical growing tips. This class is perfect for both new and experienced crafters\, gardeners\, decorators\, and everyone in between. \nThe use of recyclable and compostable materials when crafting has ecological benefits for reducing plastic waste and carbon emissions\, especially when materials are collected locally and sustainably to help preserve wildlife habitat. We’ll connect with nature while learning a fun new skill! \nLearn the basics of flower pressing to preserve treasured botanicals from your garden. Methods of flower pressing will be shared where you will learn which flowers are easy to press and which are not\, and how to prepare them for pressing. Example uses of pressed flowers will be displayed\, and resources for additional tips on pressing botanicals will be shared. Interested in making your own press? See an example along with a list of materials for an easy DIY project that will get you hooked on botanical pressing in no time! \nAfter we talk about pressing\, we will dive into discussing how dried flowers\, leaves\, seedpods and more can be useful in arrangements and crafts of all kinds. We’ll also discuss how to grow the best native and pollinator-friendly flowers for preservation\, wildlife-friendly tips for sustainable harvesting\, and eco-friendly methods that will help botanicals last for years. We’ll explore how these materials can be used in everything from spring displays to holiday wreaths. \nNote; we will not be crafting during this class. Expect to take home resources to help put your new knowledge into practice. \nPresenters:\nUNH Extension Advanced Master Gardener Doris Buco\nUNH Extension Master Gardener Patti Elwell\nDoris and Patti are NH Audubon Massabesic Center garden volunteers and contribute their designs and dried flowers to the annual holiday wreath program. Their wealth of experience\, down to earth kindness\, and dedication to NH Audubon’s mission are sure to make this class an exceptionally fun and informative event. \nLogistics:\nThis lecture-style presentation will take place indoors\, in the main conference room at the Massabesic Center. \nDress for the weather for the short\, easy walk from the dirt parking lot to the building\, and for optional outdoor exploration of the gardens.
