- 60+ full-color botanical illustrations
- basic botany and history
- everything you need to know to grow gorgeous blooms in the garden
- tips for creating beautiful arrangements and preserving flowers
- quotes, lore, and notable gardens and growers
Like a bouquet of peonies, this book is an affordable little luxury for gardeners and flower lovers—the perfect hostess gift or Mother’s Day present. It’s part of the collectible mini gift book series Little Book of Natural Wonders.
