Review: Growing Heirloom Flowers Bring the Vintage Beauty of Heritage Blooms to Your Modern Garden
I spent time at my Mother's this week. A topic of discussion was heirloom flowers and our favorites. I must admit I have many I love but in the top 5 are Gladolias, Rose's, Peony's, Bleeding Heart's, Lilac's. Mom's list is slightly different - though we share some in common.
This book offers excellent information on growing many heirloom flowers.
There are flower arranging tips and details on how to make an attractive "Summer Flower Crown", lessons in drying and pressing framed flowers, and a list of edibles and how to make floral ice cubes. There's also soaps, candles, body scrubs, bath salts, floral paper, and creative garden journal ideas.
