Time for a Change!

 

I have always used the Pressed Garden Blog to showcase

my Floral Preservation Art.

In the days when I had no technical skill to post new pics

on my website, this blog was used as an on-going gallery.

 

 My new-ish website has a Gallery that I can easily

upload new pics, so my Blog is no longer needed

for this purpose.

So, it is time for a change! I've always loved writing,

although I have gotten very VERY rusty!

I am changing the direction of the blog by writing

articles that interest, educate, inform and inspire!

 

My target audience will be floral preservation artists, 

pressed flower enthusiasts,

DIY'ers, as well as brides and others that

are interested in having their own flowers

professionally preserved!

 

So, check back in to see how my blog evolves and never

hesitate to ask questions or make suggestions

on what you would like for me to write about!   

Thank you! It is always a pleasure to

preserve your flowers!

4 kinds of Roses, 6 kinds of Ranunculus,
