The Art of Floral Design: Practices and Techniques explores floral design as an art form. While there is no single definition of “art,” to be considered floral art, floral design must be highly creative, original, and emotionally link the designer and the viewer. This text introduces the history of floral design, discusses the care and handling of cut floral products, and provides exciting laboratory exercises.
