Victoria : The Art of Flowers Give Away
Happy Monday! I am so excited about today. It's a special Monday Morning Blooms edition, with an amazing GIVE AWAY for four of our MMB readers.
In celebration of spring flowers, Victoria|Hoffman Media is collaborating with us to give away four copies of this glorious book to our lucky readers! {so that's four chances to win this book through Monday Morning Blooms!}
I took some shots in the garden this past weekend to show you some {just a tiny peek!} of the glorious pages. Now that spring is here - at least for most of us! - it's just the kind of inspirational book you will adore.
If it's still snowing where you are, you are even MORE in need of a book like this. Trust me, it will do your soul good.
From the book:
Long before the first blossoms come into view, a symphony of fragrances stirs the air in a redolent greeting. An arched trellis, scarcely visible beneath an outpouring of roses, opens to a path lined with lacy hydrangeas, cape jasmine, and sweet oleander.
The anticipation of what lies ahead is almost as heady as the aroma of the blooms themselves, and then the full garden emerges in a scene so magnificent it takes one’s breath away.
Exquisitely photographed with page after page of floral pageantry. This is such a treat for all of us flower lovers!
It begins with a celebration of the romantic charms of beloved blossoms. Scattered among gorgeous images, there are helpful guidelines for growing and displaying such favorites as roses, tulips, and peonies.
Some of you may recognize our blogging friend Canadian gardener Carolyn Aiken, whose gardens have inspired me from the very first time I read her blog, eons ago.
You'll also meet Erin Benzakein. She is the owner of Floret Flower Farm in Washington. Her family run flower farm and seed company specializes in unique, heirloom and uncommon flowers. {She's recognized as the leading farmer-florist in the USA!}
Naturally there is a section brimming with ideas for creating glorious arrangements. Teresa H. Sabankaya, a pioneer of the slow flower movement, conveys the sweetest of sentiments through the language of floriography. {I linked to her Meaning of Flowers site HERE >}
The floral arrangements in this part of the book? Astoundingly beautiful! We'll all get inspiration to create our own versions of these beauties to adorn our own tables, bedrooms and entrances for years to come. So so beautiful!
Victoria: The Art of Flowers, the latest hardcover book from the editors of Victoria magazine, invites readers to savor quiet moments amid nature’s most cherished gifts.
