Amy Merrick began her life on a family farm in the countryside; became a darling of the design world, working out of her small Brooklyn floral studio, arranging flowers at the Met and collaborating with brands like Kinfolk and Rifle Paper Company; then gave it all up to travel and teach her style of wild, natural flower arranging all over the world, from châteaus in France to villages in Morocco, high-rises in China to ancient temples in Kyoto. Now, in her first book, she distills all that she’s experienced, teaching readers to really see the natural beauty that is all around them—whether a bunch of brightly colored carnations from the corner bodega or a single lucky four-leaf clover—and how to use it to create simple arrangements that celebrate the unique qualities of whatever space, mood, and season they are in.
