A First Look at Martha's Next Book: "Martha's Flowers"

On February 27th, Martha's 90th book will be published. "Martha's Flowers" is Martha's second book on the art of floral arrangement. Unlike the first book, "Arranging Flowers", which was published in 1999, the new book will provide tips for planting and growing your favourite flowers, as well as arranging them. Martha worked with her friend and colleague Kevin Sharkey on the book. He is known for his spectacular arrangements and is often charged with the lucky task of harvesting and arranging flowers at Martha's homes before parties and events.

My friend David Pantoja received an advanced copy of the book from the publisher and I'm pleased to share his photos of the book here: an exclusive first look! (Thank you, David!) He tells me the book is absolutely gorgeous, very reminiscent of "Martha's Entertaining", which was published several years ago, with many photographs of Martha's homes.

The book is hardcover with 288 pages of full-colour photographs.
