The Flower Workshop, Lessons in arranging blooms, branches, fruits, and foraged materials.
By Ariella Chezar with Julie Michaels

     It is obvious from the introduction through the last page of The Flower Workshop that author Ariella Chezar’s passion is flowers and displaying the beauty of each element.  Her book provides chapters on floral arrangements dealing with color and variety, basics of building arrangements from elaborate to simple, creating wreaths with fruits and berries vases, a seasonal flower guide, and an informative chapter on tools and how to use them.

     The author states, “This book is meant to inspire.”  And it certainly does!  The Flower Workshop is not only educational but enjoyable to just browse.  

     Photographer Erin Kunkel has done a superb job of providing photographs of the author’s work that are instructive, and informative and some are beautiful enough to frame!

     This is such a high quality book that should be left out on the coffee table,  not hidden away on a shelf!
