Become a part of artist and master gardener Frances Palmer’s world as she shares everything she knows about growing and arranging flowers in this gorgeous book—"Flower lovers, prepare for peak inspiration" (Amy Merrick, author of On Flowers). In this follow-up to Life in the Studio, potter, gardener, and photographer Frances Palmer celebrates her love of flowers. Frances approaches her garden planning in waves, ensuring there are always beautiful booms for her to photograph in her vases. In Life with Flowers, chapters for each these "waves" includes profiles on her favorite varieties--with flower-specific gardening how-to's and arranging techniques, as well as delicious flower-forward recipes and simple DIY projects. Part of the delight and richness of this book comes from the fact that Frances is at once a gardener and an artist: We learn that she was inspired to grow bearded irises after an exhibition of Cedric Morris’s iris paintings, and we walk with her as she harvests her flowers and brings them into her home and studio, where her arrangements—and her pots—are still lifes waiting to happen. With sumptuous photography and stunning floral imagery throughout, Life with Flowers celebrates the pleasures of bringing flowers from the garden into the home and is an enchanting guide to creating a life—and garden—filled with flowers. It is a book that will surprise and inspire even the most seasoned flower lover with its lush, inviting spirit and deeply felt appreciation for the art of the garden.
