A Tree in the House is part guide for the aspiring home florist, and part celebration of rural life in sync with nature.  Now in its second edition with a beautiful new cover, this book honours the joy and simple, natural beauty flowers bring to the home every day, with a special focus on foraged and locally and seasonally grown plants. Annabelle Hickson, founder and editor of Galah magazine, provides stunning ideas and instructions for flower installations and arrangements, covering beautiful, seasonal bouquets, flowers for friends, table and overhead arrangements and flower arrangements for special occasions, interspersed with gorgeous snapshots of her picturesque rural life. In words and pictures, this is a stunning ode to flower arranging and is as much an aspirational window into rural life as an inspirational guide to creating beautiful, simple arrangements.   

Part guide for the aspiring home florist, part ode to rural interiors and buildings, A Tree in the House celebrates the art of arranging flowers for celebrations big, small and in-between held throughout the year.

The book provides ideas and instructions for celebratory botanical installations and arrangements, covering beautiful, seasonal bouquets, flowers for friends, table and overhead arrangements and flower arrangements for special occasions. The instructions are wonderfully simple and cover everything from the perfect flower-to-vase proportions to how to create an overhead floral installation, and the book particularly focuses on foraged and locally and seasonally grown plants. All the floral arrangements are as zero waste as possible, and include tips like how to transport flowers in vases (instead of plastic) with no water spills, and how to create a structured arrangement without floral foam.

A Tree in The House celebrates the simple, natural beauty that flowers bring to the home, with flower arranging that is in sync with nature.
