A Queen’s Book of Flowers


What did a 17th-century queen know about daffodils in Africa? How did books (and gardens) shape the world for women who couldn’t travel? What flowers did they grow? How were flowers part of empire? 

Visit a letterpress display at Thin Ice Press: the York Centre for Print reimagining women’s knowledge about plants and join in a botanical printing activity. Discover a book of flowers written for a queen and explore questions about women’s floral worlds.
