In this virtual program, Environmental Educator Angel Ehlers will teach you the really easy steps of how to make your very own field flower press out of mostly recycled materials. Once you’ve made it, you can go out and preserve some of your favorite plants and buds. When your flowers are all dried and fully pressed, they can be added to various craft projects or saved for nature journals!
