Fill your life with flowers and discover the art of natural, seasonal arranging with celebrated florist Graeme Corbett of @bloomandburn.

Graeme Corbett of Bloom & Burn isn’t your usual florist. Working from his studio in Kent, he uses locally grown flowers to create wild, loose arrangements with a modern feel. In Life in Bloom, he teaches you everything you need to know about growing and arranging flowers at home – including which rules to follow, and which ones to break – in a bid to find your own style. 
Inviting you into his studio and garden, Graeme takes you through the seasons by way of his favourite flowers. Discover narcissi and ranunculus in spring; peonies and poppies in summer; dahlias and phlox in autumn; and dried honesty and forced blossom in winter. For each flower, Graeme gives advice on growing, choosing varieties, sourcing and conditioning before teaching stunning arrangements. Play with colour, form and texture and gain the confidence to go bigger. 

You’ll learn how to:

Create stunning arrangements using bowls, vases and moss bases.
Build seasonal bouquets and showstopping centrepieces for tables and events.
Experiment with colour, texture and shape to find your own floral style.
Apply simple, sustainable techniques that bring professional polish to your work.
Develop the confidence to design freely, whether with garden stems or market flowers.

Beautifully photographed and filled with Graeme’s practical advice and creative encouragement, Life in Bloom is a generous book for anyone wanting to learn more about growing, gathering and arranging flowers.
