JamJar is a seasonally led floral design studio with an online edit of artwork and curated homewares. Inspired by the Sussex garden and woods that surrounded her childhood home, JamJar Flowers was founded by Melissa Richardson in 2009, with her signature style reflecting the simple charm of seasonal British flowers artfully arranged in jam jars. From these uncomplicated beginnings, JamJar Flowers has become one of London's leading florists. Melissa went on to create JamJar Edit with co-founder Amy Fielding in 2017; beginning as an eclectic collection of botanically inspired homewares and now an innovative design studio specialising in creating pressed flower artworks, from single stem framed pieces and private commissions, to ambitious installations and exhibitions. Their book, The Modern Flower Press, is the go-to-guide for pressing flowers in the 21st century.
