Spotted this in Australia, I had to have it. Stunning book with stunning floral displays. Genius-florist Anthony Ward has created a simple and gorgeous book about working with flowers.
Many of us don’t have time in our busy day to pay attention to nature. In “Being with Flowers” Anthony shows us that flowers can be an integral part of enjoying life and it can be a sacred practice. He takes care to explain how we can work with flowers and create easy yet thoughtful arrangements.
It’s all described in simple terms and digestible amounts. Moreover, each page is designed like one of his marvelous arrangements - with beautiful photos and poetic text which also include his personal story.
This is a must-have book for anyone who works with flowers or who simply enjoys them
