you only have to look at what a mild frost can do to the garden
Reply:The best way to have flowers preserved is by having them freeze-dried professionally.


Mostly used by brides as a way of preserving their bouquet.


Regular drying by hanging the flowers upside down simply makes them lose colour...

Reply:You would have to enquire at a Florists. I know some used to freeze dry flowers years ago. You wouldn%26#039;t be able to do it yourself because it involves using a gas. You can dry in a microwave oven with no change to flowers but again I have forgotten the method, although I think you have to place them in silica sand first. Again, a Florists or Craft Shop may be able to advise.
Reply:If you get some liquid Nitrogen you can preserve it for years and years and years.
Reply:shure, but it would probably kill the plant....
Reply:I wouldn%26#039;t think so, frost in the garden kills off your plants and causes the leaves to fall off the trees. So freezing would kill your plants/flowers.
Reply:No. Most plants and flowers will just turn black or brown if you put them in the freezer.... Try drying the flowers to preserve them. Silica Sand works the best and makes them look the most life like after wards. You can buy it at craft stores and the directions for drying flowers are right on the box.
Reply:Depends, in order to preserve plants and flowers you have to freeze them very quickly. This solidifies the cell wall of the plant before they can explode under the pressure of freezing water ( water expands when it freezes). Slow freezing like you do in your home freezer will preserve the goodness but not the cell integrity, giving your fruit and veg a mushy texture on defrosting
Reply:Freeze? Nope. the water content in the cells would turn to ice, thereby bursting the cells. this would only serve to damage the plant in question, which is the direct opposite of preservation.





The best ways to preserve plants/flowers are the old fashioned ways of drying /pressing flowers.
