A fresh approach to the art of drying and arranging flowers, Dried Flowers for All Seasons shows how to create dried flower arrangements with the color and appeal of fresh flowers. Using the Gertleys' time-tested techniques, anyone can dry flowers that look nearly alive, preserved with the vibrancy and color of flowers just picked from the garden. Especially amazing is the fact that flowers not usually associated with dried arrangements, like spring flowers such as tulips and daffodils, can be dried as successfully as more traditional types for drying and look stunningly alive. The book is arranged by season and there are several types of arrangements for each, including wreaths, sprays, and traditional bouquets.
Seasonal arrangements use flowers of the season for dramatic effects.
Unusual holiday arrangements give this book special appeal. Dried Flowers for All Seasons is also the most complete book on dried flowers, including in-depth information on growing flowers to dry, detailed instructions for drying techniques suitable for a wide variety of flowers, as well as a glossary of over 60 flowers particularly suitable for drying. This book is for anyone interested in creating beautiful crafts and floral arrangements, and gardeners interested in growing plants for drying.
