Publisher's Note Featuring more than 50 floral "recipes", all illustrated with over 100 brilliant full-color photographs, "Harvesting, Preserving, and Arranging Dried Flowers" is the most comprehensive, contemporary, and practical book on the subject. Drawing from her 20 years of experience, Cathy Miller shows readers how to create fabulous arrangements that last for years.
Industry Reviews Cameron Shaw is a professional dried- flower design business founded by British entrepreneur Russell Longmuir. The projects in this book are tightly crafted topiaries and potted bunches of flowers similar to those treated in Carol Endler Sterbenz's The Complete Book of Dried Flower Topiaries (LJ 11/1/95). Use of one plant type in a simple container is the key to these very elegant arrangements. Miller, on the other hand, harvests the flowers from her upstate New York farm for lavish sprays and pots brimming with mixed blossoms and leaves. About half of her book is devoted to up-to-date methods for drying flowers such as microwaving and glycerinization. She provides an extensive drying chart that includes trees as well as the northern garden flowers grown in New York. Each book takes a very different approach to dried-flower arrangements, and both are suitable for craft and garden collections. Moore
