Ginkgo experiments and appreciation: Ginkgo biloba is the oldest surviving tree species on Earth, with an evolutionary history stretching back over 270 million years, outliving dinosaurs. It’s beautiful fan-shaped, two-lobed leaves turn a magnificent golden-yellow in autumn.

Native to China, it was one of the first of its species to be planted in the UK, and is the only living connection between ferns and conifers. It’s striking deep safron yellow autumn foliage. During autumn, the leaves turn a bright yellow and then fall, sometimes within a short space of time, at which point they are perfect for pressing.

Last week, we had the pleasure of returning to 's newly opened gallery in Hungerford to continue our collaboration with a new collection of botanical artworks. Their Autumn exhibition also features works by ceramicist Linzi West and artists Eva Ray, Florence Wolsey and Lizzie Wheeler.

"Mellow in palette and rich in texture, the collection brings together linocuts, ceramics and paintings; a considered, seasonal selection that invites you to look closely and linger." — Mylo Art

“I cannot rest, I must draw, however poor the result.” - Beatrix Potter

Introducing this week’s Botanical Heroine: in our new series celebrating the clever, curious women who pressed, painted and studied the natural world; who better to begin with than Miss Beatrix Potter.

Beatrix was a brilliant botanist and naturalist who cleverly avoided the conventions and constrictions of her gender by turning her perfectly accurate watercolour illustrations of flora and fauna into whimsical children’s tales.

We’ll be sharing Beatrix’s story with our newsletter subscribers tomorrow morning, followed by more of our botanical heroines over the coming months. Sign up to follow the series.

Wood Anenome (Anemone nemorosa), also historically known as windflower, is one of the first signs of spring in our ancient woodlands; its starry white flowers carpet the forest floor long before the trees come into leaf.

Picked and pressed by India Windsor-Clive in Shropshire in the spring of this year, these precious specimens are now in the hands of Sophie Daffern at the studio, and are slowly becoming new artworks for our winter collection, launching early November.

Swipe to see the pressings and a sneak peek of our work in progress pieces.

Introducing ‘Botanical Heroines’ - a series of stories told via our newsletter and documented in our online journal over the coming months.

It is hard to remember that, up until the 20th century, the opinions of women were considered irrelevant by almost everybody in any intellectual or scientific areas. Between 1918 and 1952 women finally got the vote in Europe and the USA; but only through the tireless work of the Suffragettes.

Botany was one of the areas where women could break the glass ceiling and slip through the back door into the world of science.

As an all female company we want to celebrate and share our botanical heroines who used the flower press and botanical exploration as an outlet for their creativity and scientific curiosity; so we will be featuring them one by one in a series of stories, starting with an introduction tomorrow morning.

Join our newsletter to follow our new series as it unfolds, or find each instalment on our online journal.
