Library Journal
Dried flowers and other plant materials are now widely available in craft shops, so beautiful and unusual arrangements can be made without the necessity of drying and storing one's own plants. Rye, a professional florist, emphasizes the procedures of designing and assembling dried arrangements and discusses drying and storing materials. The projects include classic centerpieces and hanging arrangements. Many of the materials are exotics and must be purchased, but the results are lovely and presumably long-lasting. A good selection on a popular topic for public libraries. Copyright 2004 Reed Business Information.Book Details
