Naturalistic Flowers
AESME STUDIO offer a masterclass in designing naturalistic floral arrangements with a sense of place in a range of stunning settings, from the English countryside to Europe and beyond.
Sisters Ally and Jess are the founders of leading London flower company AESME STUDIO and have created a unique naturalistic style that connects floral design back to nature. This, their first book, takes the reader on a journey through the seasons. The sisters visit twelve unique locations throughout the UK, Europe and beyond to gather flowers and create seasonal floral arrangements with a sense of place.
Naturalistic floral design is about using local, wild and seasonal flowers to create beautiful, sustainable arrangements that are in harmony with their location. From English country houses to a garden in Provence, Jess and Alex have spent a year documenting their travels to provide a unique guide to how to create stunning – and often inexpensive – arrangements wherever you are. Each chapter tells the story of the sisters' discoveries along the way and explores a location through its regional flowers and scenery, offering plenty of ideas for styling flowers along with arrangement 'recipes' that show how each was designed and created.
Whether you are interested in naturalistic floral design or just looking for tips and ideas to style flowers more sustainably at home, this journey through a year of floral arrangements will be a rich source of inspiration for anyone looking to decorate with seasonal flowers.

Colour in the Garden
'I am hungry for colour. I want jam red and acid yellow, violet blue and caterpillar green. I want cinnamon orange with scorched yellow, liquorice and blackcurrant. I want amethyst, putty and smoky blue, the liminal in-between colours, and sharp lemon with tart pink and purple that is rich and electric. We all know instinctively that colour is good for us and it is colour that draws me out into my garden.' Lucy Bellamy
When you add colour to a garden it instantly creates atmosphere. While most of us know which colours we like, and maybe even which colours we want in our garden, knowing which plants will achieve this can be more difficult.
Gardening writer Lucy Bellamy and photographer Jason Ingram offer a deep dive into a modern approach to colour, exploring how to choose plants and use them creatively and inventively. With inspirational planting schemes and plant lists, advice on colour in containers, tiny back gardens and compact front gardens, this book will change the way you approach your outdoor space.
Life with Flowers
Become a part of artist and master gardener Frances Palmer's world as she shares everything she knows about growing and arranging flowers in this gorgeous book-"Flower lovers, prepare for peak inspiration" (Amy Merrick, author of On Flowers).
In this follow-up to Life in the Studio, potter, gardener, and photographer Frances Palmer celebrates her love of flowers. Frances approaches her garden planning in waves, ensuring there are always beautiful booms for her to photograph in her vases. In Life with Flowers, chapters for each these "waves" includes profiles on her favorite varieties--with flower-specific gardening how-to's and arranging techniques, as well as delicious flower-forward recipes and simple DIY projects.
Part of the delight and richness of this book comes from the fact that Frances is at once a gardener and an artist: We learn that she was inspired to grow bearded irises after an exhibition of Cedric Morris's iris paintings at the Garden Museum in London; that when arranging her tulips she thinks of André Kertész's 1939 surreal photograph Melancholic Tulip; and that she never passes a tiger lily without imagining the chattering garden from Alice in Wonderland or smells her azalea bush without being transported to the English garden of Rebecca.
To read Life with Flowers is to be invited into both the garden and the creative mind of an insatiably curious, highly skilled, and wildly generous talent.

The Garden Against Time
Inspired by the restoration of her own garden, "imaginative and empathetic critic" (NPR) Olivia Laing embarks on an exhilarating investigation of paradise.
In 2020, Olivia Laing began to restore an eighteenth-century walled garden in Suffolk, an overgrown Eden of unusual plants. The work brought to light a crucial question for our age: Who gets to live in paradise, and how can we share it while there’s still time? Moving between real and imagined gardens, from Milton’s Paradise Lost to John Clare’s enclosure elegies, from a wartime sanctuary in Italy to a grotesque aristocratic pleasure ground funded by slavery, Laing interrogates the sometimes shocking cost of making paradise on earth.
But the story of the garden doesn’t always enact larger patterns of privilege and exclusion. It’s also a place of rebel outposts and communal dreams. From the improbable queer utopia conjured by Derek Jarman on the beach at Dungeness to the fertile vision of a common Eden propagated by William Morris, new modes of living can and have been attempted amidst the flower beds, experiments that could prove vital in the coming era of climate change. The result is a humming, glowing tapestry, a beautiful and exacting account of the abundant pleasures and possibilities of gardens: not as a place to hide from the world but as a site of encounter and discovery, bee-loud and pollen-laden.

The New Romantic Garden
Formal garden design remains popular because it gives natural spaces a feeling of serenity and structure, though many homeowners and home gardeners don't realize structure doesn't have to mean all closely clipped shrubs and geometric borders, but that it can be interpreted as a series of arched trellises draped with vining, heady, languid roses or using even the wildest-branching native perennials in arrangements or proportions that help the eye discern where each plant s borders begin and end.
Over her 30-year career, Thompson has become recognized as master of creating decadently planted, well proportioned, English-style gardens rendered modern by a staunch commitment to biodiversity, and to the eye this translates as a looser formality than English gardens of the past, though every bit as lovely and luscious. Thompson peppers her wonderfully witty texts with a dash of lore as a nod to the idea that we are not, in fact, in complete charge of how our gardens grow; other forces are always at work, as they should be when we allow sustainable practices to help us guide rather than try to dominate nature's own efforts.
