Most commercially available dried flowers lack the colour or quality of home-produced ones. This book is a guide to cultivating your own flowers, grasses and herbs, and arranging them for year-round enjoyment in the home. It includes information on how many plants to grow and when to seed, how best to stake the plants grown, when to cut for maximum colour and how to dry and arrange for best results. Step-by-step instructions are combined with illustrations, with over 60 classic plants described in detail.
