5.0 out of 5 stars Everything in a Nutshell!, February 4, 2000

This review is from: Flower Arranging (Teach Yourself) (Paperback)

I have several books on floral arts and this tiny book is the most concise. While taking a class at the NY Botanical Gardens, I found it to be a more effective resource that the course book! This book is small and to the point. It contains design techniques and many illustrations. I also love her book Flower Arranging Style, which is much more elaborate.

4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent aid to the beginning flower-arranger!, May 25, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Flower Arranging (Teach Yourself) (Paperback)

This is the most helpful book in my flower-arranging library. The author explains the nitty-gritty detail of selecting and conditioning the flowers, the mechanics of holding the arrangement together, and the development of traditional floral designs. I bought copies for three friends.

This review is from: Flower Arranging (Teach Yourself) (Paperback)

Simple step by step instructions, with black and white drawings and some color photos. This is a good book to keep in your floral "bag of tricks".
