Flower arranging & floral crafts; Gardening: flowers

Inspired by the Victorian-era language of flowers, a posy is a small, round bouquet of flowers, herbs, and plants meant to convey a message, such as dahlias for gratitude, sunflowers for adoration, or thyme for bravery. These floral poems have become Teresa Sabankaya's signature. Brides want them for their weddings, but a posy is a lovely gift any time of year, and one that readers can easily put together from their garden or with blooms from their local florist. InThe Posy Book, Sabankaya shares step-by-step instructions, floral recipes for more than 20 posies, and ideas for seasonal variations. A modern floral dictionary, with 12 original paintings by celebrated illustrator Maryjo Koch, will help readers craft their own posies filled with personal meaning.

Reviews for The Posy Book: Garden-Inspired Bouquets That Tell a Story

This gifted flower grower, designer, and keeper of floral meanings has collected her best message-laden posy recipes to fill The Posy Book with beautiful blooms that tell a story. I hope, like me, that you will be inspired to adopt her modern language of flowers when you share botanical sentiments from the garden.--Debra Prinzing, Founder of Slow Flowers(TM)
