Explore the gardens and discover the delicate art of flower-pressing in the beautiful setting of the Howick Historical Village!
A favourite pastime of the Victorians, flowers, foliage, and ferns were pressed and preserved as keepsakes or collectibles, then displayed in albums or used as embellishments.

📗 Bring along a heavy hardcover book to use as a press. Or for an extra cost, a flower press will be provided that is yours to keep!
