  This book expands the traditional notion of the cutting garden and shows how any part of the garden landscape can provide a wealth of fresh flowers and foliage for glorious year-round arrangements. Written for experts as well as beginners, the book includes sections on trees and shrubs; cutting gardens; double-duty borders; ornamental grasses and modified meadows; conditioning, arranging and drying cut flowers; and forcing branches. The photographs show gardens and plants from across the United States and a wide variety of flower arrangements, both simple and elaborate. Over 60 individual plants are illustrated and discussed in a listing by season of flowers and shrubs suitable for arrangements.
