Mother's Day is May 11

Our friend Louesa Roebuck, flower designer extraordinaire, shows us how to make dramatic arrangements in this spectacular book – it's more like an art piece! We met Louesa in 2011 for a fundraiser we put together for Fukushima. Louesa's work is steeped in the Japanese floral traditions and this book centers on the art of ikebana.
 
Working with seasonally foraged, gleaned, and sourced flora from various regions of California, Louesa reveals how cinematic floral sculptures can be created by embracing the abundance right outside your door. Inviting nature’s often-overlooked treasures into your space means improvising in a moment of time, in a particular place. Exuberant compositions are created with what is on hand, establishing a harmonious dialogue with the flora, space, color, vessels, and textiles readily available. Aligning her deep commitment to the environment with her love of foraging, gleaning, and sourcing regionally, Louesa inspires you to cultivate your own vision and invite the wonders of the natural world into your home.
