Founder Stories

Meadow and Thyme

Sarah Holland is the founder of the creative flower pressing studio, Meadow and Thyme. She works with flowers grown in her own garden, traditionally pressing them and turning them into beautiful natural works of art.

Her much anticipated debut book, The Pressed Flower Handbook, will be released in May 2026, inviting us all to slow down, connect with nature and discover the magical, mindful world of flower pressing. Here’s Sarah’s story.
