Pressing Flowers! 🌸🌿💚// Garden Answer 

My grandmother did this all the time, when she past away we found them everywhere. Hidden treasures and gifts she left for us.

Wow! Laura everything you put your hands on is beautiful!!! A flower press giveaway would be great!!!

Great idea!! Also, we need a “Romancing the Ordinary” shirt in honor of your wonderful mom. ;)

😮 goodness me, how pretty is that. Waman of many talents, I'm not surprised your hubby loves you so much. 😻😻😻

Love the piano music in the background!

Oh my goodness Laura. That is really beautiful. Well done!

Your videos are so professional. The way that you show shots of items in previous videos is so great! Thank you.

Beautiful Laura...just something else amazing you do with flowers. Mary

In my mind (because I'm way too lazy to actually do this), I can imagine making a calendar out of this, somehow swapping out the center piece each month with a vignette of the new month's plants, leaves, flowers. You could frame the outside with a swappable frame that has each flower/plant/leaf around the center, with the botanical names and short description of each object. The best part is it's a high-personable calendar because everything in it came from your own garden. Nice, Laura. Very nice.

so absolutely gorgeous. Another way to enjoy the fruits of your labor.

Your talent is endless. How beautiful that is!

Oh my gosh Laura you are truly amazing, this is why next year I will have my garden full of blossoms I can press and make into beautiful pictures and cards, I'm an artist and I think the combination of my art and the flowers would be amazing, thank you for such a great idea, now my head is swimming with ideas. I remember when my daughter got married 14 years ago and she had pressed flowers in her decorations and invitations, and I just thought what a beautiful way to share flowers, I still have many things that I have in frames and around as a beautiful reminder of a special day. Thank you so much for this amazing video, I really enjoyed watching this, I hope you have a beautiful day and I will see you soon, bye for now.

Thank you. Great idea for gifts. Or a garden theme Christmas tree!

Beautiful! Loved the peaceful “Mr Rogers” music!

I can't believe this video came up. My new hobby is pressing flowers from all around my trips and vacations!!!

OMG!! You just had gotten me into a new project!! I love this!!

TBH i did not want this video to end. It looks so adorable!😍😍 The heuchera blooms were my fav thing! As for single plant highlighting, a fern leaf would be an absolute stunner! The intricateness of some ferns is bizzare!

I press flowers by inserting them between magazine pages! 😂 this project ended up gorgeous as always. 👌

Thank you!! 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰 I’ve learn so much from you Laura, your spirit , your Energy and voice brings calmness , peace and joy to my day & Everyday💝you were meant to be where are and doing what you do. 🥰

One more lovely way to enjoy flowers. Thanks!

Hey Laura. First time sending you a message. I just wanted to say how thankful I am to have found your channel, A little background story for you. I am new when it comes to gardening, me and my partner have just bought our first house this past year and I have really taken to your channel for inspiration and knowledge. I do have some pictures I would love to show u someday. Without your channel I could not have had so much fun. My family and neighbours always stop and say how nice my gardens are and how far the house has come since we got it. Thank you so much for everything. Joshua

So sweet! You are so creative! I'm definitely going to try this. Thanks for sharing!

Thank you! So beautiful and yes I am inspired !

Why don't more people know about you !? You are great! Love your videos!! 💐🤗

I love all your videos but this is one of my absolute favorites thank you. This will be such a beautiful and relaxing project.

Well now I have a new project to do. I’m in love!

i pressed some flowers from my garden after watching your video. thanks for the inspiration!

I loved watching this! I was raised in a flower garden-loving family. Years ago, I picked flowers from my mine, Gram's and Mom's flower gardens, unbeknownst to them. I pressed and preserved the flowers and arranged them in 5 X 7 frames for them for a gift. When they passed away, their frames were placed in their caskets with them so they could have flowers from our gardens with them forever.

Love the diversity in content! Wonderful idea! Great tips too! Thank You!

Oh wow...I just got to seeing this one. I used to do this when I was a younger. Haven’t done this in a while. Something to do for this spring/summer.

You have no idea how happy your video made me today! I had forgotten this simple pleasure I used to do with my Mom when I was little. I ran outside this afternoon to snip a few blooms and leaves, and already have the pressing. Thank you for the reminder of a beautiful way to use what we have available to us from our own garden.

What a fantastic project, Laura, as always! Thanks for showing what our press can do. - Amanda E. for Gardener's Supply

I have been pressing flowers for years. I store mine in between the pages of a sketchbook. It allows you to write the name of the flower or leaf on the page so you don't forget.

I love this project! I think I’ll give it a try. A trio of these would look great in my office

I love this! Yes it would make a lovely gift for my fellow gardeners too. TFS

I love this! Now you've got me thinking about making place cards for my Thanksgiving table using pressed flowers and the little Dollar Tree frames. That way everyone who wanted to could take it home with them. 🍂 🍃 🍁 💕

Well done! Gorgeous outcome. So many possibilities.

You have a great eye for beautiful things. Great idea.

My husband: What're you watching? Me: A Garden Answer video. My husband: Ahhhh...And which website will you be making a purchase from today? Me: Gardner's Supply! My husband: For? Me: A flower press!!!

You got me into pressing flowers! So excited to get started 💜

12:30 Well Laura you just made yourself a challenge this Christmas 😄 garden themed Christmas Tree!! I'm sure we all LOVE to see that!!

Love this idea, I also made my own paper.

A piece of art like this from your garden would be the ultimate Garden Answer merch. :) My husband walked past me near the end this video and said "she has a good eye". Cool project.

Beautiful! Can’t wait to try this.

Beautiful! I haven't pressed flowers since I was a kid. I think I want to make a picture for my mom from her garden for Christmas!

You always say, "romancing the ordinary", my kids hear me say, "it's what Laura would do"... love this idea, your garden, your videos. In a totally not weird way. 🌸

I love this idea. I've never thought about preserving flowers and using them for crafts. Definitely want to do this and gift to my mom. 💜

Oh that was so beautiful I just love watching you do those dried flowers ,it was so relaxing to see you work with something so delicate ,after seeing you work so hard in the garden. I really enjoyed that video.

So lovely Laura! 💗

I love this! I am so inspired by how you use your beautiful garden in crafts like the wreaths and now this. Please keep it up with the garden inspired crafts. ♥️

"Romancing the ordinary" is such a beautiful mindset!

This is one of my favorite projects you have made so far 😍. Thank you

I love it! Love your videos. Truely the highlight of my days!

Hi Laura! You're picture turned out so pretty! That's a really nice flower press! What a fun video. My daughter presses leaves and flowers and glues them to small "craft" boxes and on gift tags. They're so cute! I used to dry flowers between pieces of wax paper in my Americana encyclopedias. Thank you for sharing!

About 25 years ago, I made pressed flower prints for Christmas gifts for a lot of family members. I used mainly herbs, though, and they turned out so pretty! I did like you, arranging them by piece, I even dried leaves and stems separately then re-constructed them on the paper. I still have mine but now they are faded and look like antique dried flowers!

Watching this is so relaxing, I loved it

The wind blows the flowers in to a pile and the pile itself is totally frame-worthy!! Lol!

Those came out beautifully!🥰

Am always blown away and inspired by your ideas and creativity. Thank you so much for both your efforts ....

What a creative idea. Love it.

I loved watching this! It has really inspired me to make beautiful art works as gifts 🎁

So pretty! Can’t wait to try this 😊

Beautiful! Those pansies, well all of the flowers and leaves, would also be cool to make something using resin.

Very nice ideas but ....some how i can take my eyes from your fall decoration in the back look so nice Thanks for sharing 🤗🌿🌸👏👌

Laura this is stunning x

To all the moms and grandmas out there, this is a super fun thing to do with your kiddos. My granddaughter loved doing.

A lovely composition, your Garden skills, easily translate to extending to art with beauty in nature. Thank you!!

Very, very nice!! Happy gardening.

Wonderful presentation...your results are perfection! Time to dig out the flower press I made 25 years ago...pressed vegetable leaves and herbs would be a great kitchen gift! Enjoy your show!

Love it. I learn a lot from your shows . Very informative.🙂❤👍

perfect! I was going to do this today from my own beautiful plants and flowers!

I started a herbarium years ago using flowers and plants I pressed and I also have a gallery wall of pressed wildflowers I collected while hiking. I mounted them on natural linen using spray adhesive. Queen Anne Lace, Jack in the Pulpit, Ladyslipper, Yarrow....ect. I enjoy them more than any art I've bought. I need to dust off my press! Thanks for the inspiration!

This brought back so many fond childhood memories. I'll definitely be doing some flower pressing this year. Thanks for this Laura!

Laura that is so pretty, that is something I have never done, but I think I’m going to have to try it. Thanks so much for such a good tutorial!

In addition to ironing leaves and maple seed pods between wax paper sheets and proudly displaying them in any available window, as if they were the finest stained glass, we also learned how to make a simple homemade paper and use dried blooms in the final step. Thanks for reminding so many of us of fond childhood memories and inspiring us to put those long dormant skills to use. There’s so much beauty to reap from the natural world🍂

I know you are working your tail off getting so many videos out per week, but seriously, THANK YOU! I love your content variety. This was a fun craft. I love writing quotes and bible verses in calligraphy and I think this will add beauty to my current hobby. I also love that you are real-life!... shoot, I forgot my tweezers, I should have done this indoor because of the wind. You roll with the punches! But seriously, thank you! ❤️

Lee Valley carries a great flower press (terracotta stones, wool, cloth) that uses the microwave. I've had it for 17 years, super easy!!! I incorporated pressed flowers into my wedding decorations.

Wow, you got me all interested! I am excited to try this whole project ❤

So pretty!!

Absolutely love this video 🌸

I’ve never pressed flowers (unless you could the couple we did with wax paper in elementary school), but these are GORGEOUS, and totally make me want to! ❤️

That turned out beautiful! Thank you for sharing.

Loved this video Thank you!

As a video idea for next year, I would love to see a "day in the life" or/and "week of your life" Having a small child, video editing, cleaning, and everything in the garden and everything else it seems like alot. I would love to see how you manage it all in the summer.

Hi Laura nice beautiful project. Very off topic was looking at older videos n saw u put yr cabbage n lettuce from cleaning yr veggie beds on the compost bins(not sure u had chicks ) give them to the chickens they will thank you u with yummier eggs. Happy gardening from UK xx

I loved this video and I can’t wait to purchase this flower press

this looks beautiful omg

I just ordered bulbs from Gardners Supply to be shipped to my cousin for an early Christmas present. Thanks for inspiring me to get it done.

Love this. It reminds me of my childhood using Britannica encyclopedias LOL. Pressed flowers are really timeless.

This is beautiful. Thank you !

what a different herbarium Beaultiful 🌺🥰

Love this! Would it help if you sprayed the flowers with a preservative?💝

Don't you need a spray to preserve the flowers from turning brown? It is Absolutely gorgeous! I love everything you do. You inspire me in my yard and garden as well as my home. I am retired and finding new life in Gardening. Thank you so much!🌹💕

I love this idea so much more. Something about putting flowers in the microwave to dry just doesn't sit well with me personally. Thank you 🌻

Beautiful!

Great ideas. Love your explainations

Beautiful project Laura. Make sure you are using acid-free glue and tape.

We need “Romancing the Ordinary” Garden Answer merch! 💚🌺🙏🏻

Laura, you DO realize you're the new Martha Stewart, right?! 😍 Thank you so much for sharing your creativity with us. Seriously, your videos are always so timely and time after time are on things I've wanted to do but didn't know exactly how - like this one!
