“Like a favorite recipe, a posy is meant to be savored and shared. Try it yourself, and … welcome a bit of floral enchantment into your life.” ―Amy Stewart, author ofThe Drunken Botanist
Inspired by the Victorian-era language of flowers, a posy is a small, round bouquet of flowers, herbs, and plants meant to convey a message, such as dahlias for gratitude, sunflowers for adoration, or thyme for bravery. These floral poems have become Teresa Sabankaya’s signature. Brides want them for their weddings, but a posy is a lovely gift any time of year, and one that readers can easily put together from their garden or with blooms from their local florist.In The Posy Book, Sabankaya shares step-by-step instructions, floral recipes for more than 20 posies, and ideas for seasonal variations. A modern floral dictionary, with 12 original paintings by celebrated illustrator Maryjo Koch, will help readers craft their own posies filled with personal meaning.

About the author

Teresa Hannegan Sabankaya began her flower business in 1999 by growing her own assortment of boutique cut flowers, and consequently, her thriving flower and gift shop in Santa Cruz, California was created. Teresa is one of the most innovative floral designers in the San Francisco and Monterey Bay Area and has exhibited her floral art at various museums and flower shows including the Bouquets to Art exhibition at the De Young Museum in Golden Gate Park, the Monterey Museum of Art, and Filoli Mansion and Gardens, a National Trust Historic Site. Her elegant design style calibrates the soul by emitting a familiarity to people, evoking nostalgia with a just gathered from the garden feel.
Her love of, or rather obsession with the language of flowers spawned her creation of the modern-day Posy. The Posy is her favorite design in florals, a modern spin on a historic nosegay, these ‘little garden bouquets that tells a story’ have a permanent place in her heart. This book was inspired by Teresa’s desire to share such a beautiful and simple way to tell your story with flowers.
Teresa is an instructor of floral design and can be frequently seen leading workshops and presentations about flowers in many levels. Her Posy in your Pocket presentations have been highly attended at the San Francisco Flower and Garden Show, the Monterey Home and Garden Expo, Filoli Estate, and many garden clubs and nurseries. Teresa is a pioneer of the Slow Flowers movement by practicing the far-fetched idea of using flowers, herbs and greenery grown in her garden to incorporate into her floral designs at her retail store and her wedding floral work.
Teresa is an Advanced Certified Green Gardener, a member of Slow Flowers, Great Garden Speakers, as well as the California State Floral Association. Follow her on social media to learn more about the world of flowers.
