Description

Bring home the charm of the wild woods with creative botanical arrangements that are so much more than just bouquets of flowers.

Containers lined with bark to replace ordinary glass vases. A bed of moss to cushion a vibrant spring arrangement. Ever-changing wreaths to showcase acorns, branches, lichen, twining vines, and delicate ferns throughout the year. A cloche holding an arrangement of dried mushrooms that might have come out of a fairytale.

In this gorgeous celebration of the woodlands, renowned floral designer Françoise Weeks offers all the ways, from simple to complex, that you can bring the wildness and wonder of the forest to your indoor arrangements. Each chapter of Wonder of the Woodlands features the materials Françoise uses most--barks and logs; acorns and seeds; ferns, branches, moss, and lichen--and showcases how she builds her unique, beautiful arrangements, which last far longer than a vase of cut flowers.

Inside are also Françoise's insights on seeking out the most unique natural materials for arrangements, and how to responsibly forage or source them in a shop. And you'll find her tips on how to reuse materials so you can enjoy lots of different arrangements without increasing your environmental impact.

Bursting with images of nature and suggestions for weaving that magic into your interiors, Wonder of the Woodlands is a celebration of arrangements that are inspired by a walk through the trees. With stunning photography of wild and wonderful wreaths, table arrangements, wall decor, and more, you can re-create the peaceful majesty of spending time in the forest in your own home.
