How to.. Go Greener – Leaf Manipulation and Bark and Cone Structures – over 50 photographed design concepts

The manipulation of plant material has revolutionised floral design and this book is the first in a series of “Go Greener” publications, which evidence different design concepts using natural plant materials in their different forms to develop design styles for the floral artist and florist – Over 250 full colour photographs with supporting narrative.

Gill McGregor shows you, in a step by step approach, how Leaf Manipulation techniques can provide; design distinction, eco friendly mechanic alternatives to using floral foam, attractive collars for arrangements, hand tieds and distinctive plant sculptures.

Using leaves, grasses, cones and bark, both commercially grown and found in our garden habitats, the application of a range of techniques alters the visual appearance of natural plant materials to become a vision to enjoy or as a supporting mechanic for vases or items to be carried.
