Celebrate the art of arranging flowers at home, for friends, for celebrations big, small and in-between, and for every day – throughout the year.

Description

A Tree in the House is part guide for the aspiring home florist and part celebration of rural life in sync with nature.

Now in its second edition with a beautiful new cover, this book honours the joy and simple, natural beauty flowers bring to the home every day, with a special focus on foraged and locally and seasonally grown plants. Annabelle Hickson, founder and editor of Galah magazine, provides stunning ideas and instructions for flower installations and arrangements, covering beautiful, seasonal bouquets, flowers for friends, table and overhead arrangements, and flower arrangements for special occasions, interspersed with gorgeous snapshots of her picturesque rural life.

In words and pictures, this is a stunning ode to flower arranging and is as much an aspirational window into rural life as an inspirational guide to creating beautiful, simple arrangements.
