It will change the way we approach flower arranging. The one hundred elegant photographs by John M. Hall and the charming  informative text by garden designer Edwina von Gal show that ones choices for natural decorative arrangements need not be limited to flowers. Rather  von Gal and Hall emphasize the intrinsic beauty of each part of the plant  including buds  stems  leaves  berries and fruit. In tune with the current trend toward minimalism in interior decorating  the arrangements featured in this book are appealingly spare and simple. Among the many inspired ideas are a gathering of delicate periwinkle  the flowers a perfect complement to the leaves; a tabletop arrangement of beautifully textured pods and seeds; the rich  red stems of rhubarb chard in a clear glass vase; and a single rose of Sharon in glorious full bloom. Von Gals whimsical  anecdotal text offers facts  observations  and folklore  as well as practical guidance for the care and maintenance of the plants featured in her creative arrangements. Her provocative captions invite us to stop  take a closer look  and experience plants in ways we might not have thought of before--in vases or in their natural settings. Filled with novel  accessible ideas  Fresh Cuts also suggests that the enjoyable act of decorating ones home or office can be combined with a dedicated foraging expedition  a casual nature walk  or a spiritual lesson in understanding our own symbiotic connection to the world of plants.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45648184475701,"sku":"ByrdShop_1579652662","price":34.12,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9781579652661.jpg?v=1781712215","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/fresh-cuts-unexpected-arrangements-with-branches-buds-and-blooms-9781579652661","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
