Ever wish you could hit "pause" on summer’s best blooms? Now you can! Join us for a creative session where we turn fleeting floral beauty into permanent masterpieces.

We’ve done the work for you—we will provide vibrant, pressed petals and leaves for you to craft your own unique trinket box or framed masterpiece. All you need to bring is your imagination (and maybe a friend!). Not only will you leave with your creation, but the knowledge of how to preserve your own summer blooms.
