Flowering Outdoors - Lydia Somerville, Margot Shaw

For this breathtaking volume, Shaw explores how leading tastemakers share their joy of flowers outdoors in such spaces as terraces, dining pavilions, and loggias in a variety of locations from the city and country to the mountains and the seaside. Such designers and floral and design experts as Meg Braff, Kate Rheinstein Brodsky, Zeze, Bettie Bearden Pardee, India Hicks, and others impart their personal botanical point of view. They show how to incorporate flowers in outdoor 'rooms' in terra-cotta containers, metal urns, and other types of pots and planters, and present numerous ways to entertaining alfresco with floral flair. This gorgeously photographed book concludes with a primer on garden elements, including architecture (gazebos, trellises, folies, and so on), statuary, furniture, and live sculpture (topiaries). Inspirational and instructive, it is a must-have for flower enthusiasts, home decorators, gardeners, and haute hosting.
