Customer Reviews

One of my Favorites!!!

I found this lovely book at the local library a few years back. One page in and I new I had discovered treasure! This book is wonderful. It is so full of helpful information and useful tips which are rarely if ever available on cut flower varieties outside the traditional florist scope. I reference this book almost daily in my floral business. I highly recommend it!

I added it to my collection

I too checked this one out from the library and promptly purchased it as a reference for my own book collection. I was most inspired by the variety of plants the author highlighted for arranging...I hadn't thought about a lot of the things I already have growing in my own garden in that light before. I also liked her descriptions of the composition of the arrangements.
