I love flowers, I love floral arranging, and I loved this book. It's filled with beautiful photographs and great tips/tricks/lessons on how to beautifully display your own flowers. Merrick's passion is evident, and this book is wonderful.

There are so many aspects about flowers covered in the book. If you know anyone who loves flowers, they would enjoy delving deeper with this book.

This beautiful book by Merrick is a wonderful way to introduce someone to the joys of enjoying flowers without needing to buy fancy arrangements or expensive blooms. While Merrick's own arrangements are stumping, this book celebrates flowers in every form, including wildflowers, weeds, and the pre-made bouquets at the grocery store.

Lovely pictures, unfussy advice, and plenty of great ideas make this book a winner.

A beautiful book, highly recommended. With fascinating photographs, collages, and text, Amy Merrick tells stories and tells you all about flowers and flower arranging. She clearly loves nature, and she sees a humble dandelion as on par with expensive blooms in fancy floral shops in the city.

The book is well-designed and organized. Use of retro typeset, found objects, and retro prints give the book an interesting and pleasing tone. The lovely stories and lists of things to do are charming and give the book a whimsical yet intimate feel.

I loved this book! Thanks to the publisher for an advance copy. Congrats to the author on a wonderful book.
