Hello I'm Jess - welcome to A book of petals.

A book of petals is my small business lovingly run from my home studio in Southport, North West England.

I make my everlasting dried flower wreaths and arrangements combing flowers grown in my own garden with carefully sourced flowers from my garden and carefully sourced flowers from and from other British growers.

Ever piece is handcrafted, I take pride in creating one of a kind floral designs that capture the natural beauty of dried flowers and puts into your home.

From the moment I selected the flowers to the final arrangement, each creation is made with love

Why am I called A book of petals?

A book of petals is based on my childhood family story, my love of creating and growing plants and flowers.

I remember when I was little with my Nan and Great Auntie collecting flowers and petals and then them teaching me to hang them to dry them, to put them in large books and in a flower press. It was so much fun as a child to get the large books back out to find the petals and flowers to see how well they had pressed. The flowers were then used to make all sorts of petal potions, perfumes and pictures.

So A book of petals is named after the fun memories and the people who taught me how to grow and dry flowers and for the books full of petals.
