The Pressed Garden
Floral Treasures into Cherished Heirlooms
Member of:
My name is Annie Fentz. One look around my
home would tell you that my greatest passion is flowers. I've been
studying flowers, growing them, playing with them and crafting with them,
my entire life! I always found flowers to be such a beautiful display of God's
glory. It would seem fitting then, that I would fall in love with the art of
pressing and preserving flowers. My curiosity was piqued 17 years ago
when I stumbled across the book "Glorious Pressed Flower Projects" by Cellestine
Hannemann. I pulled that book from the shelf and poured over its
pages throughout the years. In 2005, a personal crisis drove me to fully pursue
my dream. I found Cellestine online. Her willingness to share her
experience and the support and encouragement of close friends motivated me
to move forward. Soon after, I flew off to New Hampshire to study the art of
pressing wedding bouquets under Barbara Gaffney, of Everlastings Flowers. Her
classes became the springboard to developing my own style and techniques.
What a delight it is when a customer brings me a fresh bouquet to preserve, so unique and full of memories! Thank you for the opportunity to turn your floral treasure into a cherished heirloom!
Annie
The flowers are seen on the earth;
The time of singing has come.
