This is a beautiful little book packed with information on how to grow your own flowers that can be used for dried flower arrangements. It is filled with beautiful photographs and has specific instructions and photos for each flower on how to grow, propogate, harvest and dry each flower. There are 25 specific flowers and grasses, each given at least two pages of infomation and photos. It's a lovely book.

Jim and Dottie Becker have managed to create a concise reference for 50 popular everlastings. These garden plants are the foundations of what you see in expensive dried flower arrangments. They provide all the information you need to grow each of the featured plants. The plants are arranged in alphabetical order. Don't know the names of your favorites? Each plant is showcased by beautiful, clear, large color photographs of each plant with smaller photos inset of variations. In addition to the propogation information for each plant, the Beckers also provide practical information to start your own everlasting garden, dry the results and how to use the dried flowers. A glossary and index are also included. All of this is contained in 93 pages! I highly recommend this book to beginning and experienced gardeners alike.
