If you're a lover of flowers foliage and but are sad to see them sag, this is the book for you. It's always a wonderful feeling to receive a beautiful bouquet, refresh a room with a burst of color or to walk down the aisle with some flowers in your hands. There's nothing more depressing than seeing them fade, cloud the water and after only a few days, curl up and die. This book offers the solution - without any harsh toxic chemicals. Throughout the course of her life, the Author has been a lover of all things floral and foliage based. Her passion was for nature and preserving it in every way possible. It begged the question; how can we make cut flowers last without putting toxic elements back into the world that provided them? It took many years, and many failed attempts, but finally she came up with a simple, Eco-Friendly way to keep her blooms in full eye-popping color, lasting for years and as silky soft as the day they were picked. And now, this formula is available to you, along with the simple, step by step guide to do it yourself. So, save you wallets and your flowers, by picking up this read today. The goal of this book When beginning this journey, the Author intended to save herself, and her flowers, from the endless cycle of pluck, present, and perish. Working with flowers for so long, she was well aware of the old-fashioned ways to set flowers. The problem was that these antiquated methods were awful for the environment, caustic to the skin and even after all that, the flowers became dull and crispy - shedding their glory and pollen across the floor in a never-ending mess. She knew she had to do something, but not giving up her flowers. Once she had perfected it, she finally found a way to preserve her joy, for herself and for her customers. But, like a pretty poesy, she knew that simple pleasures like that had to be shared. Nature should be available for everyone to enjoy. And thus, from a little seed, grew this book, here to give you the gift of perfectly hydrated preserved flowers in any style you want. It isn't a technical book; the ingredients don't cost the earth (in either way) and the instructions are easy to follow; so easy that even a teenager can craft without the overwhelm. This is a book, not just for industry professionals, but for the everyday man and woman who can appreciate the soft hydrated touch of a pretty petal and smile.
