Critics Review

“Frances Palmer, beloved potter, gardener, photographer, and cook, has written a personal tale of the flowers she grows and displays in every season with charmingly instructive detail.”

–Page Dickey, author and director emeritus of the Garden Conservancy

“No one grows and arranges flowers with the same enchanting, joyful spirit as Frances. What a gift then to devour her new book, basking in the floral glow of each and every variety she loves, her creative touchstones, and that coveted list of nurseries and suppliers! Flower lovers, prepare for peak inspiration. My heart was ablaze with each turn of the page.”

–Amy Merrick, florist and author of On Flowers

“Whether you find blooms out your front door or never pick up a trowel but love to fill vases, this gorgeous book of beautiful blooms, artful arrangements, and wise words is an inspiration. It’s guaranteed to bring on flower lust, lift your spirits, and nourish your soul.”

–Dominique Browning, author and founder and director of Moms Clean Air Force“Frances Palmer is a Constance Spry for the twenty-first century. Like Spry, she is a skilled and passionate gardener, and this process informs how she uses flowers in the vase. And, like Spry, she designs beautiful vases and vessels for her floral masterpieces–but Palmer goes on to both make those vessels herself and photograph the results. These extraordinary, complementary talents are captured and generously shared in this sublime book.”

–Shane Connolly, florist and author of A Year in Flowers

“Who better to show us how to arrange flowers? Frances Palmer not only grows buckets of them, but she also creates beautifully distinct vessels that make you pay attention to every twisting stem and folding petal of these glorious plants.”–Stephen Orr, author of The New American Herbal
