A few quiet moments from today’s walk through the garden. 🌿

Today’s blooms include vibrant cosmos, cheerful zinnias, a stunning morning glory, busy bumblebees, and cherry tomatoes showing every stage of ripening—from bright green to deep summer red. 🍅🐝

One of my favorite things about gardening is that nothing happens all at once. Every flower, every pollinator, and every tomato is at a different point in its story.

Some of these blooms will one day become pressed keepsakes. Others will simply brighten the garden or feed the bees. Both are beautiful.

💚 What’s blooming in your garden today?

🌼 What’s Blooming Today? 🌼

I thought it might be fun to start sharing little snapshots from the garden every so often. It’s amazing how much can change in just a few days.

Today’s walk around the garden included:
🧡 Orange cosmos
💛 Yellow cosmos
💗 Pink zinnias
💜 A morning glory that almost doesn’t look real
🐝 Bumblebees hard at work
🍅 Cherry tomatoes showing every stage of ripening—from bright green to golden, orange, and finally that perfect summer red.

One of my favorite things about gardening is that it teaches patience. Nothing blooms all at once, and nothing ripens overnight. Every flower, every bee, and every tomato is simply at a different point in its story.

Some of these flowers will eventually become pressed keepsakes or botanical art in my studio. Others will spend their entire lives feeding pollinators or producing food. And honestly, I think that’s just as beautiful.

🌿 What’s blooming in your garden today? I’d love to see it! Share a photo in the comments.

A flower press designed by a floral artist - for everyone. 💐 Available on Etsy now 🦋 https://artsquirrelsstudio.etsy.com/listing/4548237343

After years of pressing flowers, I realized most flower presses are heavier, more complicated, and less user-friendly than they need to be.

So I designed one.

🌻Lightweight and portable for collecting flowers anywhere.
🌹Waterproof - no wooden boards to swell, warp, or mildew.
🌺Oversized k***s that are easy to grip, designed with accessibility and dexterity in mind.
🌸Only four chunky threaded k***s to tighten - no loose nuts, washers, or tiny pieces to lose.
🌷Textured grip surfaces make opening and closing the press even easier.
🌼Reusable with replaceable cardboard ventilators and blotting paper.

Whether you’re preserving wedding flowers, introducing a child to nature, starting a nature journal, or simply pressing blooms from your own backyard, I wanted this to be a tool that gets out of the way and lets you enjoy the process.

Every press is made in my Kentucky studio and designed from my own experience as a botanical artist.

Flower pressing shouldn’t feel complicated - it should feel like magic. 💐💜
