Foraged Flora

Organized by month, each chapter in this visually arresting and inspiring book focuses on large and small arrangements created from the flowers and plants available during that time period and in that place, all foraged or gleaned nearby. The author, Louesa Roebuck, reflects on surprising and beautiful pairings, the importance of scale, the scarcity or abundance of raw materials, and the environmental factors that contribute to that availability. Whether picking a small tendril of fragrant jasmine, collecting oversized branches of flowering quince, or making a garland of bay laurel, Foraged Flora is an invitation to seek out the beauty of the natural world. This book is filled with oversized pages of gorgeous photography and shows what you can do with flowers when you look outside the flower market or grocery store. There’s endless inspiration in this book! It’s also a stunning addition to any coffee table.
