Jane Packer at Home with Flowers

Live with flowers the Jane Packer way. Leading floral artist Jane Packer is renowned for her chic signature style of elegant flowers arranged with a fresh, modern twist. In At Home with Flowers, Jane picks the flowers she loves best and shows how they can bring colour, variety and style to every corner of the home. She covers all the basics, including buying, conditioning and caring for flowers as well as choosing the right vases to display them in. Jane then takes us on a tour of every room in the house, from the hallway to the bedroom, taking in the kitchen, living room and bathroom along the way. There are dramatic flowers for mantelpieces, massed vases on console tables, architectural blooms showcased on coffee tables, luscious posies on dressing tables and desks, and even cut flowers for outdoor entertaining, as well as arrangements for guest rooms and bathrooms. There are no stiff bouquets or formal displays, just pretty, simple and achievable arrangements that you'll yearn to recreate in your own home.

Jane Packer is one of Britain's best-known floral artists. She established Jane Packer Flowers in 1982 and now has outlets in London, New York, Seoul, Tokyo and Kuwait City. Her books include the best-selling Jane Packer's Flower Course (also Ryland Peters & Small).
