Isabel Gilbert Palmer has been passionate about flowers for years. For this book she has travelled around the world to listen to the stories of the grandmasters of floral art. These artists create poetry with flowers. With a minimum of means taken from nature they are able to evoke, seduce and astonish. This book offers a look behind the scenes of the creation of their works, their sources of inspiration and the most special floral decorations, creating a new world; a world where craftsmanship and beauty go hand in hand.

Isabel Gilbert Palmer is a freelance journalist for magazines such as Garden Design (USA), Flower Magazine (USA), Fleur Créatif. In 2010 she established Flora & Company, organising workshops with international floral artists and designers.
