Martha’s Flowers: Book Giveaway

flowers, Gardening March 26, 2019

I’m determined to instill the love of gardening and all things green into my readers – even if it’s just a small leaflet of desire. Of course, many of you are avid gardeners both indoors and out! To celebrate the love of flower gardening, I’m giving away a copy of the book, Martha’s Flowers – a practical guide to growing, gathering, and enjoying!

Martha's Flowers - how to garden, grow, and arrange

 

What immediately caught my eye in this book is the gorgeous photography of beautiful flowers of all types!

Martha's Flowers - how to garden, grow, and arrange

 

What kept my attention is the subject matter. The book explains how to plant flowers, how to grow them, and how to cut and care for them indoors!

Martha's Flowers - how to garden, grow, and arrange

 

Most books focus on either growing garden flowers, or arranging flowers. This book covers both aspects and includes the seasons of spring, summer, and fall. Wouldn’t you love to grow healthy yet dainty delphiniums so you can enjoy them both in and outside of your home?

Blue Delphiniums

 

Martha Stewart and Kevin Sharkey share their favorite floral arrangement tips, along with information on choosing the right vase for a variety of flowers.

Gorgeous Bouquet of Pink Flowers in Vintage Pitcher

 

Every page is filled with amazing photography and is sure to inspire you to either grow more flowers in your garden, or at least try your hand at arranging them.

Bouquet of Purple Flowers

 

I have a gorgeous Jackmanii clematis in my garden and never thought to use it in a floral arrangement – but look how pretty it is!

How to arrange clematis

 

I adore this fall arrangement and now I know what to do with the fading leaves of my hostas later this year!

Martha's Flowers book. Growing and arranging flowers of all seasons.

 

To enter for a chance to win a copy of Martha’s Flowers, simply leave a comment below! I’ll announce the winner next Tuesday.

If you can’t wait that long, you can also order a copy of Martha’s Flowers (affiliate link) on Amazon.

    Oh, how inspirational this book is! I would love to win it. We live on 20 acres in Queensland, Australia – like you, we are where the suburbs end and the country begins. It is rather hot and humid during the summer months but the rest of the year is mild, sunny, perfect for gardening. We don’t have many flowering gardens (mainly palm trees and shrubs) because we are so dry here, and also we let our horses sometimes graze around the house paddock if there is grass to eat and they would eat the plants! A couple of years ago though I started a pot plant collection in our courtyard which I thoroughly enjoy pottering about in, growing annuals and colourful plants. It’s so relaxing and always pretty to look at, especially in a place that is mainly dry and brown.

    Oh, I think that I would LOVE this book; I enjoy pretty much all things Martha Stewart. Get her magazine through the mail, and I used to LOVE her Christmas specials when they were on TV. LOVE flowers, too; though I live in a townhome with only a postage stamp size yard–both front and back, I have as many of them, as I can squeeze into it. Roses, hydrangeas, day lilies, iris, azaleas, fern leafed geraniums, and whatever I decide to put into pots and planters each Summer as well.

    Every picture you show of this book is stunning! My grandma left me the most wonderful legacy of gardening. In the garden, I worked hand and hand with her and learned names, care, and love of most Garden flowers. She raised 16 children and then still had time for me! Her hands were dirty most of the time but when her flowers blossomed forth, it was such a beautiful array of color and texture that I knew that I wanted to do the same —giving ‘eye candy’ to everyone who passed by. I would love this book, Jennifer, and my coffee table with this book on it would remind me of Gram and her special gift. Thank you for this great give away.
