Why read it?

Erin Benzakein stormed the gardening world a decade ago with an ambitious social media presence featuring gorgeous images and valuable information about her flower business in Washington State. This, her first book, pulls together her best tips about growing and arranging flowers in the new natural style. It’s lavishly illustrated with dreamy photos — backlit flower fields, individual stems laid on a rustic workbench, exuberant arrangements. In all, an inspiring and useful book. Erin has followed up with two more books, equally wonderful.

From Lynn's list on for flower lovers.

Followers of Floret Farm on Instagram will appreciate this hardcover version of her social media feed.
