For the past 20 years, Kay Kei has been blending nature and creativity through the art of botanical printing. Using flowers, leaves, and other foraged plant materials, she creates stunning, eco-friendly prints on shirts, cards, tote bags, and more.

For Kay Kei, it’s not just about the art – it’s about sharing the process, teaching others, and building connections through nature.

I love this!! My daughter (also nicknamed Kay ironically) tried making dye just last week with flowers from the Trochu arb! We did not end up doing anything with it because there wasn’t much to work with, but this is so timely! We will have to try it again!

Great website and content! Thanks for reaching out to the arb and for your beautiful work 💖
