Fresh Cuts : Unexpected Arrangements with Branches, Buds, and Blooms
Editorial Reviews
Book Description
Fresh Cuts offers one hundred accessible and unexpected flora arranging ideas inspired by foraging expeditions, casual nature walks, or strolls around the backyard. Now available in paperback with new material on the basics of flower arranging and sources for and thoughts on containers, Fresh Cuts provides the most complete guide to celebrating nature with arrangements.
The one hundred photographs by John M. Hall and the informative text by premier garden designer Edwina von Gal show that one's choices for natural arrangements need not be limited to flowers. Rather, von Gal and Hall emphasize the intrinsic beauty of buds, stems, leaves, berries, and fruit as well. Among the many creative ideas are beautifully textured pods and seeds, rich red stems of rhubarb chard, and a single rose of Sharon in full bloom.
