Slow Flowers: Four Seasons of Locally Grown Bouquets from the Garden, Meadow and Farm

52 Weeks of Fresh Flowers First there was "slow food." Now there's "slow flowers," local and fresh: no chemical-laden, lifeless blooms flown in from afar. Acclaimed garden writer Debra Prinzing wants to show us the rich, floral bounty closer to home. In "Slow Flowers," she takes us through the seasons to create 52 vibrant, sensual bouquets using "only" locally sourced materials - even in winter.
In this lushly photographed book, the DIY floral designer will find expert tips, bouquet recipes, eco-friendly arranging techniques... and a comprehensive index with climate zone information for each botanical ingredient.
"Debra Prinzing inspires us to slow down and smell the flowers, especially those grown in our own backyards or by local flower farmers." -Lara Spencer, ABC's Good Morning America lifestyle anchor and author of "I Brake for Yard Sales"
