This book gives us gorgeous art of flowers. Next to my garden I love filling my home with flowers. But this year I am slowly adding new flowers and seeing what works. I had plenty of work ahead of me as it was overgrown. Last year I moved to a new home which has a front/back garden. I am so delighted that I finally have the chance to do some gardening again.
