Flower Hunter

Across twelve months, the author moves between her cultivated plot and her studio, both set in the hills of North Wales. Her light, good-humoured writing sits alongside photographs and floral designs she has made, and throughout she asks readers to notice the repeating patterns of the living world, to draw on their own creative instincts, and to find loveliness in ordinary days.

Every arrangement is built from flowers grown in her garden. Her compositions feel loose and natural, with the rich, painterly quality of old Dutch still-life paintings. Hands-on projects run through the pages, from air-drying garden blooms into an autumn wreath to crafting your own journals and dyeing with natural materials. Larger displays are built around the full, lush forms of garden roses.

The book rests on her belief that everyone carries a creative voice deep inside, and it aims to coax that voice out and help it flourish.
