The Pressed Flower Handbook

by Sarah Holland

I’m so excited to reveal that I’ve been busy writing a beautiful and practical book all about traditional flower pressing; it’ll be released in May 2026 with Quarry Books, an imprint of the Quarto Group. A celebration of nature, mindful practices and seasonal living, The Pressed Flower Handbook will immerse you in the magical world of traditional flower pressing.

Full of stunning photographs and set to the backdrop of the seasonal rhythms of the Meadow and Thyme garden, you’ll learn my flower pressing techniques including how to select flowers and foliage for pressing and the best ways to traditionally press them. The book also contains step-by-step seasonal projects for creating with pressed flowers and lots of examples of my pressed flower creations to inspire you. I hope the book will help you to feel a deep connection with your natural surroundings and that you’ll fall in love with the wonderful craft of flower pressing.

The Pressed Flower Handbook is available for pre-order now from all good bookshops. You can order your copy from the link below, or if you are able to, please support your wonderful local independent bookseller and ask them to order it in for you.

As a thank you for your pre-order, you’ll be able to download an exclusive 8”x10” digital Meadow and Thyme art print. Simply place your order and then follow the instructions here to get your free digital print.
