The Beginner's Guide to Floristry Paperback – 17 Mar. 2008

I'm a florist of 7 months or so working in a busy flower shop. I did an online course and wanted to learn lots more so I bought this on a whim. I have many educational florist books but this one is amazing. It is big and contains LOTS of information. I find myself to know lots about floristry already but this one gives me lots more info. I think it's invaluable and certainly worth the money three times over. Would highly recommend.

Perfect

This book has been updated several times, which shows how interesting it is. Pictures and flower arranging are very attractive.

Informative nice book

Not for myself, so cannot comment

I bought this book along with Jane Packer's Flower Course as I want to do the flowers for my wedding next year and this one was a big disappointment compared to Jane's book (which is inspirational, very easy to follow and I would highly recommend). The designs in it seem quite old fashioned to me (my personal taste) and it does not contain as many step-by-step instructions as I expected to find in a Beginners book. I'm sure I'll refer to it as it does contain lots of useful information but if I were buying again I would just stick with the Jane Packer book and would recommend others to do so too.

Lovely book, good condition and prompt delivery

If like me you are interested in learning more about flower arranging whether it be for personal or business purposes, this book is a "bible" and a "must have". I have read comments stating the arrangements shown in the book are "dated" but hey surely the idea is to learn the art and where better than starting with the basics including invaluable tips and if the reader then wants to do a state of the art display of their own, can then do so! If you are already familiar with the basics then there's no point in this book and possibly a more imaginative flower arrangement book would best suit. All in all I think this is a fantastic book for the newcomer/learner and I am thoroughly enjoying reading it and cannot wait to put what Im learning into practice!
