Customer Reviews

Jane Packer's World Flowers- incredible!
I saw Jane on "Martha Stewart" where she was talking about her work for the Duchess of York's wedding and i was hooked. World Flowers is one of the most incredible books available on floral design. Each chapter represents a different country-- and the influences and ideas as they apply to flowers. The best part-- she gives easy tips to create these arrangements on your own. imagine-- putting single light pink roses inside individual pale pink cupcake papers, and arranging them on stacked cake plates. So delightful!

Flower World Power
I bought this book to help me with a quilt I was planning to make. At first I was disappointed and then I realized that having taken some floral arranging classes I might enjoy this book. Boy did I ever! The information is marvelous and well planned and extremely helpful. There is much you can learn about flowers and how to treat them from this book. Instead of returning it as I had originally thought I would, I find myself looking things up all the time.
