Lesson IV Activity

Pressed Plants Hanging Wall Calendar

This activity involves creating a yearly calender decorated with pressed plants that reflect what’s in season that month.

The Calender

While the Herbal Academy provides us with a downloadable template, I decided to order a blank calendar for a sturdier canvas than what my home printer provides.

The Supplies

For this activity I needed a blank calendar, plant specimens, mod-podge glue, and a sponge applicator.

The Plants

Here are some specimens I collected over the last few days. Included is a bit of bacopa, some rose leaves, and Gotu Kola to start.

The Completed Calender

The Mod-Podge still needs to dry, but you get the concept!
