Cultivated: The Elements of Floral Style

Cultivated: The Elements of Floral Style elevates floral design

to fine art in this richly informative work on the principles of floral

style. A charming and intelligent mentor, Christin Geall emboldens

designers, gardeners, and entrepreneurs to think differently and deeply

about their work with flowers as she draws upon the fine arts and

historical sources, exploring Baroque music, the paintings of the

Impressionists, or the work of floral innovators like Gertrude Jekyll

and Constance Spry.

Covering all aspects of floral design,

including choosing plants to grow and arrange, selecting tools and

vessels, balancing color and form, and even photographing and selling

arrangements, Cultivated offers universal lessons for all levels of

practitioners, budgets, and materials. Geall's stunning photographs of

her own lush designs illustrate techniques for creating brilliant

arrangements that spark the imagination
