# Event Details

- **Event Name**: Mother's Day Flower Pressing Workshop
- **Event Start and End Date**: Sun, 10 May, 2026 at 03:00 pm – Sun, 10 May, 2026 at 04:30 pm (-04:00)
- **Event Description**: While living at the Old Manse, Sarah Alden Bradford Ripley was a devoted mother and grandmother, helping to care for her family and the home while maintaining her own passions and interests.

Sarah was also well-respected botanist who often shared her love of flowers and plants with friends and family, leaving behind her collection of pressed flowers and other plant material known as an herbarium. Herbaria have long been used as both scientific tools and as a means of commemorating travel to different places, making them both a scientific and artistic phenomenon!

In this workshop we’ll discuss the fascinating histories of Sarah Ripley and herbaria, and then explore the grounds of the Manse just as Sarah did with her grandchildren, collecting leaves and flowers from around the property to create our own pressed floral arrangements.
