Unlike most flower-arrangement books, which rely on expensive and often nonseasonal flowers from florists, this book presents an alternative that is in line with the “back to nature” movement. This is the first volume to showcase how to be inspired by nature’s seasonal bounty and bring that nature into the home through floral arrangements.
From the well-known lifestyle photographer Ngoc Minh Ngo and Nicolette Owen of Brooklyn’s Little Flower School, Bringing Nature Home presents a portfolio of unique and original floral arrangements directly inspired by the seasons and the local environment, with sources ranging from farmers’ market offerings to the backyard garden. Presented through lush photography that also showcases the beautiful interiors the arrangements are created for, this is as much a decorating tome as it is a floral-arrangement guide.
A how-to section offers advice on the selection, trimming, and care of the arrangements and on repurposed and unique containers, making this book practical as well as inspiring.
Ngoc Minh Ngo is an established photographer for magazines such as Martha Stewart Living, Domino, Elle Décoration UK, and Architectural Digest. Nicolette Owen is the cofounder of the Little Flower School in Brooklyn. Deborah Needleman was the founding editor of Domino magazine and is currently the editor-in-chief of WSJ Magazine.
“It’s impossible to overstate just how stunning Bringing Nature Home is…a 200+ page glossy ode to the beauty of seasonal flowers, branches and vines. I liked this book so much I bought two copies- one for our office and one for my home. Whether you’re a flower or a design lover (or both), you’re going to want this book in your home.” ~Design Sponge
"I think it's quite possibly the most beautiful (and accessible) floral design book I have ever seen. Bringing Nature Home contains page after page of gorgeous, yet doable, arrangements photographed in interiors that are equally beautiful and inspiring. It really is one of the most beautiful books I’ve ever seen, with accessible “back to nature” arrangements. If you’re a fan of nature, flowers, interiors, or beautiful photography, buy this book. It’s well worth it!” ~Urban Comfort
"Just in time for Spring, arrangements by florist Nicolette Owen are brought to life in this elegant showcase of the seasons and their perfectly paired florals." ~Society Diaries
“Rather than relying on pricey, off-season flowers, Ngo and Owen offer instruction in crafting artful, seasonal arrangements in keeping with ones’ local environment. Filled with unconventional tips and resources, the book supplies proof that floral bouquets can be gorgeous and green.” ~Lonny
“..the focus is on enjoying seasonal flowers every day, in the here and now, rather than on design personalities. Nature is the star. The book convincingly makes the point that voluptuous arrangements aren’t just for weddings, professional photo shoots, and occasional parties.” ~Style Court
"Most of us just can't get enough of flowers, books on flowers, and photographs, drawings, and paintings of flowers. Oh, and maybe even floral fabrics and floral china too. If this describes you, then you should consider picking up a copy of Bringing Nature Home: Floral Arrangements Inspired by Nature, photographer Ngoc Minh Ngo's new book dedicated to the beauty of flowers." ~Peak of Chic
自从读了《Bringing Nature Home》,我的生活仿佛被注入了一股新的活力。我之前总觉得家里的空间有些单调,缺乏生气,于是总是尝试添置各种装饰品,但总觉得少了点什么。《Bringing Nature Home》就像是一把钥匙,为我打开了通往自然的大门。它不仅仅是一本关于植物的书,更是一本关于如何与自然建立连接的书。我尤其被书中“自然的花束”章节所打动,它不是教我如何去购买昂贵的鲜花,而是引导我去发现身边的植物之美,去用一种更自由、更随性的方式来组合。我开始留意路边的野花野草,甚至是一些不起眼的绿叶,然后将它们带回家,用最简单的器皿来盛放,惊喜地发现,它们也能为我的家增添一份独特的韵味。书中的“室内绿植”章节,也给了我很多实用的建议,让我能够更好地照顾家里的植物,让它们真正成为我生活的一部分。我不再是简单地把它们当做摆设,而是像对待一位朋友一样,去了解它们的需求,去感受它们带来的平静与喜悦。这种“与植物一起生活”的状态,让我觉得非常充实和幸福。
评分这本书彻底颠覆了我对“室内绿植”的刻板印象。以往,我总觉得室内植物只是被动地接受光照和水分,是空间的点缀,是装饰品。但《Bringing Nature Home》让我看到,它们是活生生的生命,是家中的呼吸,是情绪的安抚者。我尤其对书中关于“插花”的艺术性描述印象深刻。它不是教你如何用昂贵的稀有品种来堆砌奢华,而是引导你发现生活中被忽略的美。路边的一株野草,公园里不起眼的一枝落叶,在作者的笔下,都能成为构成一幅自然画卷的灵魂元素。它鼓励我们走出固定思维,用更开放、更具创造性的眼光去审视身边的植物。我开始尝试着去公园、去郊外寻找那些“被遗忘”的美好,然后小心翼翼地将它们带回家,用最简单的方式去组合,去感受它们在室内空间中焕发的生命力。书中的指导并不是强制性的,而是一种邀请,邀请你去探索,去尝试,去找到属于你自己的“植物语言”。我曾一度认为自己是个“植物杀手”,但阅读了这本书后,我发现,原来不是我不会养,而是我没有真正理解植物的需求,没有与它们建立起那种细腻的连接。
评分一直以来,我都在寻找能够真正将我与自然连接起来的书籍,那种不只是图文并茂,更能触及灵魂,引导我用全新的视角去审视生活与周遭的绿意。直到我翻开《Bringing Nature Home》,我才意识到,原来我一直在寻找的,并非仅仅是关于花草树木的知识,而是那种“与植物一起生活”的哲学。这本书并非枯燥的百科全书,它更像是一位温柔的朋友,在低语,告诉你如何在钢筋水泥的丛林中,为自己开辟出一片生机勃勃的绿洲。它不是简单地罗列植物名称和养护技巧,而是深入浅出地阐述了为何要将自然引入家中,以及它对我们身心健康的积极影响。我特别喜欢其中关于“自然的花束”的章节,那不仅仅是关于色彩与形态的搭配,更是对季节变迁,对生命轮回的诗意解读。作者用极其细腻的笔触,描绘了每一朵花的姿态,每一片叶的纹理,仿佛能让你嗅到雨后泥土的芬芳,听到微风拂过枝叶的沙沙声。它教会我如何从自然中汲取灵感,如何用最简单的方式,将自然的野趣与生命力带入我的日常生活,而不仅仅是摆弄几盆盆栽。这种“带回家”的概念,不仅仅是物理上的搬运,更是一种精神上的回归,一种与自然和谐共生的生活方式的倡导。
评分我一直是个对自然充满向往的人,但城市的生活总是让我感觉与自然渐行渐远。《Bringing Nature Home》这本书,就像是一位知心的向导,引领我重新走近自然,甚至将自然的美好带回我的生活中。我特别着迷于书中的“自然的花束”章节,它不是机械地传授插花技巧,而是启发我用一种更具艺术眼光的方式去感受植物的美。作者用细腻的笔触,描绘了从野外采撷的简单花草,如何通过巧妙的组合,焕发出动人的生命力。它让我明白,真正的美,源于自然本身,无需过度雕琢。而“室内绿植”的部分,更是为我打开了一个全新的世界。它不仅仅是关于如何选择植物,更是关于如何让植物融入我的生活空间,成为家的一部分,为我的生活带来生机和治愈。我曾一度以为自己是“植物杀手”,但这本书让我看到了与植物和谐共生的可能性。它让我开始留意身边的每一株植物,去感受它们的呼吸,去聆听它们无声的语言。这种“与植物一起生活”的体验,让我感到前所未有的平静和满足。
评分我一直对“与植物一起生活”这个概念抱有浓厚的兴趣,但总是感觉有些遥不可及,就像是属于少数有天赋的人的领域。《Bringing Nature Home》却用一种极其亲切和接地气的方式,将这个理念展现在我面前。它不是高高在上的学术论述,而是充满生活气息的分享。我尤其喜欢书里关于如何营造“自然感”的室内环境的那些细节。它不仅仅是关于放置多少盆绿植,更是关于如何通过色彩、材质、甚至是光线的运用,来模拟自然的氛围,让家成为一个可以真正放松身心, Recharge 的空间。我被书中对于“自然的花束”的描绘深深吸引,它让我明白,真正的美,并非总是来源于精心修剪和完美无瑕,而是存在于一种自然的、不加雕琢的生命力之中。作者用富有诗意的语言,描述了如何从野外采撷,如何用最朴素的容器来盛放,如何让花草的形态本身就成为一种艺术。这不仅仅是关于插花技巧,更是关于一种生活态度,一种对生命细微之处的欣赏。我开始尝试着去观察,去发现,去将那些平凡的植物,赋予它们不平凡的生命。
