Designing with Dried Flowers

Description

By Hannah Muller 

Dried flower arrangements are one of the best ways of ensuring a year-round supply of domestically-grown blooms, as gaps in the harvest season can be filled in with dried flowers. Farmer-florist Hannah Muller of The Wreath Room at Full Belly Farm shares her unique methods to naturally dry flowers that hold their color and delicacy. Alongside the arrangements you’ll learn how to dry your own flowers. 

From there, create one of the many unique arrangements in the book, and easily create new ones with the same flowers. With step-by-step instructions for every arrangement, gorgeous photography to inspire your creations, and helpful information along the way, Designing with Dried Flowers is a must-have for anyone who wants to dry and arrange their own dried flowers.

Designing with Dried Flowers is a book as gorgeous as it is practical. Hannah discusses the role of dried flowers in extending the farm's season, provides tips for getting started with drying flowers, including experimenting with flowers already grown and growing specific varieties for drying. An additional benefit of using dried blooms is that flowers that don’t make the cut for fresh use can often be used for dried flower arrangements and wreaths. She shares tips on crops, growing and harvesting flowers for drying, setting up a drying room, dealing with pests, arranging and more!
