Decking the Halls

Trees, Flowers, Herbs & Greenery to Celebrate the Holiday Season

Beschreibung

A beautifully illustrated guide to the plants of Christmas and the holiday season, Decking the Halls makes for a perfect gift and is sure to delight the home decorator, dedicated gardener, and curious plant-lover alike. Seasoned gardeners with twelve books under their belts, Janet Melrose and Sheryl Normandeau bring their passion and expertise to the trees, shrubs, vines, fruits, and herbs of the holiday season in this gorgeously illustrated guide. Opening with the stories and traditions behind the most iconic Christmas plants, indoor and out, the delicate illustrations and well-researched tales tap into the joy and wonder of Christmas. Plants are central to adorning our homes with holiday cheer and filling our kitchens with the scents of the season, and Janet and Sheryl walk readers through the many ways you can bring in the greens: from Christmas tree selection and care, to trying your hand at wreaths, garlands, and arrangements with helpful how-to illustrations, to the aromatics that enliven the traditional culinary delights of the holidays. A perfect holiday gift or stocking stuffer, this luxurious hardcover illustrated book is a pleasure to hold. From seasonal forest plants to kitchen herbs, from tiny berries to towering trees, Decking the Halls shines a light on the uplifting greenery that helps us weather the darkest months of the year.
