The Plant Recipe Book by Baylor Chapman

This plant book is unique in that the author creates arrangements that can be used for special events or occasions, and than used for weeks or months in your home, or repurposed in the garden or other arrangements. Some of the designs can last for years with care, while others are more temporary, but can be reused later.
You begin with a toolbox, containers, soil, plants, techniques, and the ingredient chart. Then follows 100 beautiful arrangements. The pictures are gorgeous, and the author is obviously gifted and talented in her ability to put plants together so skillfully. I frequently will start to long for green things this time of the year, and yes, I did buy a few succulents to try my own hand at making an arrangement. Such a cool book that you too can check out form the library!
