On Flowers by Amy Merrick

On Flowers: Lessons from an Accidental Florist

Amy Merrick is a rare and special kind of artist who uses flowers to help us see the familiar in a completely new way. Her gift is to revel in the unexpected like a sunny spring arrangement housed in a paper coffee cup and to overturn preconceptions, whether she is transforming a bouquet of supermarket carnations into a breathtaking centrepiece or elevating wild and weedy blooms foraged from city sidewalks.

Collected here is an anthology of floral inspiration, a love letter to nature by an exceptional, accidental florist. The book was named Best Gift Book of 2019 by InStyle, Real Simple, Better Homes & Gardens, and the Wall Street Journal. Published by Artisan Books.
