Forever Flowers: Growing And Arranging Dried Flowers

I've been a fan of drying flowers for years and bought 'The Dried Flower Garden' by Ann Lindsay Mitchell years ago (it was re-issued in 1997) and it's been my dried flower bible ever since because it's so informative and a pleasure to read. When I saw this new book by her, I was quick to order it and it has just arrived and I've had a look through, only to discover that both the majority of the lovely water colour picture and text is the same as my old book. There are some new photographs of new and modern arrangements but it's not a great deal different in content from my old paperback book.However, if you don't have this older book, this new book is beautiful and would make a great gift for someone or be a brilliant reference book if you want to learn how to dry flowers. I have another book about dried flowers by a high profile, well known name who specialises in dried flower projects etc, and I can honestly say, I would recommend Ann Mitchell's book any day. It's also a hardback, so really nice. I'm just disappointed that, basically, I've already got this book.

This beautiful book is filled with information on how to grow, dry and arrange flowers. The watercolour pictures and the photographs of floral arrangements are stunning and make this a book to go back to time after time.
