A good book with a lot of good information. I prefer books about gardens and gardening from the 1980s, so this is a good choice for me. It helps you learn how to dry, where to dry, how to plan the drying by color, shape, season and texture. Certainly more options than other books I have found! It has a fantastic chart in the index to help you plan what flower to grow, how to dry it, what color it will be and when it grows. Very helpful! I didn't give it 5 stars because the arrangements were fine, but only mediocre in what I prefer. Still a very good book to buy and currently there are many on the used site ending in BAY.

Probably one the most useful books that I own. Contains absolutely anything and everything that there is to know about the subject! I wish this was had been one of the required textbooks for my floral design class in college but I’m so happy to have it now :-)

A very helpful book - especially the technical side of arranging. I had started taking notes but ended up finding a used copy on line and buying it for myself.
