The Pressed Flower Handbook is a modern, mindful guide to pressing flowers with natural techniques and stunning projects that celebrate the seasons.

Discover the timeless art of flower pressing with simple, sustainable techniques and projects.

The Pressed Flower Handbook is an inspiring and accessible guide to the age-old craft of flower pressing, told through the seasonal rhythms of Sarah Holland’s garden. As the artist behind the popular Meadow and Thyme brand, Sarah brings her thoughtful perspective and sustainable ethos to every page, showing you how to grow, gather, press, and craft with flowers through all four seasons.

This richly illustrated book features step-by-step instructions for traditional pressing techniques, storage tips, troubleshooting, and guidance on preserving color and form. It also includes a beautiful collection of creative projects that turn pressed flowers into lasting works of art—such as wall pieces, greeting cards, and meaningful tokens to share.

Accompanied by gorgeous color photographs and presented in a warm, instructive voice, you’ll find:

  • Season-by-season advice for gathering the best blooms and foliage

  • Sarah’s personal techniques for successful pressing using natural methods

  • Troubleshooting tips for avoiding mold, fading, breakage, and other potential problems

  • Project inspiration for art, gifts, keepsakes, and decor

  • An introduction to floriography, the language of flowers, to add symbolic meaning to your creations

  • Reflections on mindfulness and slow living, making this book as restorative as the craft itself

Whether you’re new to flower pressing or returning to it with fresh eyes, The Pressed Flower Handbook invites you to engage deeply with the natural world and to create beautiful things that last. It’s both a how-to guide and a celebration of sustainable creativity.
