Flower Arranging

Thid book is really good. It has a lot of pages with arrangements with dried and live flowers among other things. Almost every page teaches or shows how to make something wonderful using different styles, techniques, and different flowers. You really get your money's worth with this book.

Flower Power

This is a great book for people who are new to flower arranging.

Practical and Inspiring

It seems most floristry books are either helpful or pretty. Jane Packer has managed to combine both elements in Complete Guide To Flower Arranging, resulting in a practical reference book that doesn't just provide visual guides but includes practical tips and inspirational designs for new florists. An absolute must for those starting work with flowers and building a reference library.
