The Flowers

In this beautifully illustrated flower arranging book, Dr Lisa Cooper gives us an insight into the philosophy and practices of someone who works with flowers daily as a leading floral designer and artist.

Through anecdote, gentler instruction, and photographic essays, The Flowers takes us from Cooper's studio workspace and to the growers' farms, to see flowers in their natural form as well as their display arrangements. There are 17 formal floral designs as well as a collection of stories from the people, family, friends, growers, artists, gardeners, and florists who have influenced and inspired her work.
