Best Flower Arranging
From Erin Benzakein, a leader in the locaflor farm-to-centerpiece movement and owner of internationally renowned Floret Flower Farm, Cut Flower Garden is equal parts instruction and inspiration—a book overflowing with lush photography of magnificent flowers and breathtaking arrangements organized by season. "I met Erin Benzakein more than ten years ago when she was a young mom growing sweet peas and dreaming of making her living from flowers. And now she's sharing that dream with the world - everyone from fellow flower enthusiasts to emerging farmer-florists to veteran designers yearning for a new, seasonal and sustainable model of floristry. In her debut book she not only introduces us to the basics of growing our own flowers, she shares her deep love and understanding of gardening in a way that will leave even the most doubtful grower feeling inspired to get their hands in the dirt." Her first book is deliciously gorgeous and incredibly comprehensive- combining practical advice alongside a huge overdose of seasonal inspiration. Erin Benzakein's gorgeous new book, Floret Farm's Cut Flower Garden, is equal parts inspiration and education. "The creation of this beautiful book is testament to Erin Benzakein's commitment to and passion for the local flower movement. The layout is simultaneously appealing and practical; Floret's signature lush photographs beautifully illustrate all stages of cut flower production and design through the seasons. Filled with clear growing techniques, detailed harvesting instructions and other tips of the trade, this book is a true gift to anyone wanting to generate good income from the craft of flower farming on a small-scale.

"The rest of the images are very nicely done and all of them include butterflies, six are individual butterflies centered on the page, others are flutters of butterflies filling the page or in graceful patterns, you will find 3 like the cover page and other patterns made up of butterflies and flora. The printing is not centered, 7 of the images in the book I got are cut off at the edge of the page, these are smaller images and include individual butterflies that should all be on the page, also Butterflies is spelt wrong on the cover of my book it is Butterfies ."
"Not all pictures are as detailed as the one on the cover (which is, of course, the nicest one in the book by far) - and many images seemed simplistic and more suited to an older child than an adult. But...when all is said and done there are enough nice images (30) to make the book somewhat worth while gven the reduced price."
"Its kind of the standard coloring book paper though."
"The prints on the pages are not centered, a lot of them look like lines are missing causing gaps and spaces in the picture that shouldn't be there, also the paper seems a bit thinner than my other books."
"The designs are really pretty but the quality of the paper leaves much to be desired, making it a bit difficult to work with, especially if you're partial to markers, which, thankfully, I am not... but if you stick to colored pencils or other dry media, it's great."
"Kim called her friends and her father almost as soon as she opened the gifts, (colored pencils)."
"I bought this for my 88 year old Mother only to learn the night before I am to give it to her that the binding is defective."
