Floret Farm's Cut Flower Garden

Erin Benzakein stormed the gardening world a decade ago with an ambitious social media presence featuring gorgeous images and valuable information about her flower business in Washington State. This, her first book, pulls together her best tips about growing and arranging flowers in the new natural style. It’s lavishly illustrated with dreamy photos — backlit flower fields, individual stems laid on a rustic workbench, exuberant arrangements. In all, an inspiring and useful book. Erin has followed up with two more books, equally wonderful.

Another coffee table book contender, A Year in Flowers is an absolute feast for the eyes. The flower arrangements, wreaths, and bouquets included are not only beautiful, but seasonally relevant and accompanied by growing tips by the flower queen herself, Erin Benzakein. Followers of Floret Farm on Instagram will appreciate this hardcover version of her social media feed.
