Product Description

The authors of Herbs and The Herbal Pantry offer a delightful look at how the most popular herbal flowers and foliage can add beauty to any home.

In Herbal Bouquets, best-selling authors Emelie Tolley and Chris Mead return to celebrate another aspect of their most popular subject.

Illustrated with stunning color photographs, their new book begins with a section on selecting and gathering the best plants, whether from your own garden or from roadsides and open fields. Emelie reveals which herbs have particularly nice flowers or foliage and offers detailed descriptions of her eight favorites, including poppies, peonies, and hydrangeas, with specific growing information for each.

Next, Emelie shows how to preserve and dry herbal plants for use in long-lasting arrangements, how to choose an appropriate container, and how to create a variety of stylish bouquets, from country to urbane.

Finally the book's 15 projects and recipes (a refreshing Lavender Linen Spray a lovely straw Garden Hat, and traditional May Wine, for instance) are wonderful reminders that herbs have a place in the home beyond the kitchen

5.0 out of 5 stars A New Herbal Classic, 31 July 2001

By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com

This review is from: Herbal Bouquets (Hardcover)

Tolley and Mead have done it again. With stunningly beautiful photos and to-the-point text, the wonderful world of herbs is explored in a new way. Many people don't fully appreciate the value of herbal flowers, but Tolley and Mead show that they can indeed stand on their own. They explore picking, conditioning, drying, growing, and arranging, as well as some unique craft ideas. For anyone into herbs, this is a must read. Another herbal masterpiece.
