From Booklist
It's a good idea to brush up on your botanical knowledge before tackling Dierks' 75 projects. Otherwise, when trying to make, for example, an annual wreath filled with snapdragons, boxwood, montecasino asters, curly willow, and variegated pittosporum, you might find the crafting a lengthier process than anticipated. The introductory chapters are intended as an overview, covering the how-to's of drying and wreath making in a few pages. The bulk of the text is reserved for the wreaths themselves, which are separated into perennials, bulbs, annuals, wiIdflowers, flowering shrubs, and tropical flowers. Each wreath is accompanied by a color photograph and a descriptive paragraph or so about its construction. Intended for gardeners or flower lovers well versed in the art and science of green and blooming things. Barbara Jacobs
