A unique reference book written from personal experience for anyone who would like to discover flower arranging, drying and preserving.

This book is not only for the flower arranger but also for anyone who would like to discover how to dry or preserve a wide and varied range of flowers, foliage and grasses, together with many of nature's non-flowering plants such as ferns, mosses, fungi and lichen.

In all over 250 plants are alphabctically described.

Each illustrated with a delicate line drawing. The eight pages of colour showing the author's own arrangements illustrate how plant materials from all seasons of the year can be used to create arrangements which are as beautiful and colourful as fresh arrangements.

At the end of the book, the actual methods of drying and preserving are explicity described and fully illustrated.
