Reviews for Petal & Twig: Seasonal Bouquets with Blossoms, Branches, and Grasses from Your Garden
"Almost any flower, leaf or branch can look good in the right vase. ... Written as an informal diary, with photographs of arrangements from her own container garden, and tips on cutting and keeping flowers fresh, the book inspires ideas not only on what to grow but on how to combine (or not) those beauties inside." The New York Times "In the most personal of her several books, Val Easton leads us gently through the seasons as she demonstrates the ease with which she brings her garden indoors to decorate her home." Pacific Horticulture Magazine "When selecting and arranging flowers for bouquets, you needn’t spend a bundle buying a bundle of imported flowers. Instead, check what’s in stock in your own backyard." Publishers Weekly "The next best thing to being surrounded by the real thing is immersing yourself in a floral volume packed with pretty pictures and, hopefully, sage advice. Valerie Easton's latest book, Petal & Twig...is just such a treat." Northwest Home "A refreshing take on flower arranging, offering up inspiration for creations using plants from your own garden..." Gardenista "Gardeners will learn to create beautiful seasonal bouquets with blossoms, branches and grasses from their yards in this lovely book featuring numerous color photographs."
