The History of Flower Arranging by Pamela Mcnicol

Flower arranging is seen to enhance the breaking of language barriers, creeds and politics. This collection of essays is a history of the transition of plants from being used originally for symbolic, medical and culinary uses to being grown for their beauty and decorative values. The history begins with the ancient Egyptians, Greeks and Romans and ends in the 20th century as well as looking to the future. Dorothy Cooke formed the very early Leicester and County Flower Lovers Guild. Pamela McNicol was chairman of NAFAS in 1986 and designed and directed the flowers in Westminster Abbey for the wedding of the Duke and Duchess of York.
