Excellent book for dried flower grower,
By Janicez (NJ USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Dried Flower Gardening (Paperback)
An excellent reference book that deals with each individual plant that you can grow and dry. It offers growing and harvesting and drying tips on each plant. This is very useful to ensure you harvest at the right time for each plant. Not every plant text has an accompanying photo however so you need to know what the plant is before you use the book. It also gives some nice layout suggestions for planting a flower bed to make the most of the plants in their setting before you harvest them. There is a nice section on drying techniques. It is a very good book for anyone who wants to grow and dry a few to many acres of plants.

Great Tips for Growing the Right Flowers for Drying,
This review is from: Dried Flower Gardening (Paperback)
Already a classic on the subject of dried flower gardening, this book has been re-released. Choose your dried flower plants by color, method and or part to dry. Or, use one of Ms. Sheen's designs to get your garden jump started. What do you fancy? An Orange, Yellow, White and Green Garden? And, do you want that in perennials or annuals or both? The extensive A-Z of Recommended Plants section examines her choices of plants in comprehensive detail, providing insight into each variety that only an experienced gardener can offer. Methods of harvesting, drying and storing are clear and easy to follow,as are her craft ideas for everything from a simple bouquet to an elegant Autumn potpourri. With Dried Flower Gardening you can enjoy the garden, fresh and forever.

Timeless Information,
By Peterman Brook Herb Farm (Porterfield, WI) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Dried Flower Gardening (Paperback)
Although this book certainly is not young, it contains a treasure trove of timeless information for those of us who are interested in drying flowers and herbs. I especially like the A-Z guide for plants as it has some wonderful growing hints for each type of plant.
Toward the front of the book, there are several garden plans for growers by color, annual and perennial. Also there are diagrams of arrangements that are next to a key that allows the reader to see what each flower or plant looks like in its dried state. The pictures in the book are well done, I always wish for more!
