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
這本書徹底顛覆瞭我對“室內綠植”的刻闆印象。以往,我總覺得室內植物隻是被動地接受光照和水分,是空間的點綴,是裝飾品。但《Bringing Nature Home》讓我看到,它們是活生生的生命,是傢中的呼吸,是情緒的安撫者。我尤其對書中關於“插花”的藝術性描述印象深刻。它不是教你如何用昂貴的稀有品種來堆砌奢華,而是引導你發現生活中被忽略的美。路邊的一株野草,公園裏不起眼的一枝落葉,在作者的筆下,都能成為構成一幅自然畫捲的靈魂元素。它鼓勵我們走齣固定思維,用更開放、更具創造性的眼光去審視身邊的植物。我開始嘗試著去公園、去郊外尋找那些“被遺忘”的美好,然後小心翼翼地將它們帶迴傢,用最簡單的方式去組閤,去感受它們在室內空間中煥發的生命力。書中的指導並不是強製性的,而是一種邀請,邀請你去探索,去嘗試,去找到屬於你自己的“植物語言”。我曾一度認為自己是個“植物殺手”,但閱讀瞭這本書後,我發現,原來不是我不會養,而是我沒有真正理解植物的需求,沒有與它們建立起那種細膩的連接。
评分自從讀瞭《Bringing Nature Home》,我的生活仿佛被注入瞭一股新的活力。我之前總覺得傢裏的空間有些單調,缺乏生氣,於是總是嘗試添置各種裝飾品,但總覺得少瞭點什麼。《Bringing Nature Home》就像是一把鑰匙,為我打開瞭通往自然的大門。它不僅僅是一本關於植物的書,更是一本關於如何與自然建立連接的書。我尤其被書中“自然的花束”章節所打動,它不是教我如何去購買昂貴的鮮花,而是引導我去發現身邊的植物之美,去用一種更自由、更隨性的方式來組閤。我開始留意路邊的野花野草,甚至是一些不起眼的綠葉,然後將它們帶迴傢,用最簡單的器皿來盛放,驚喜地發現,它們也能為我的傢增添一份獨特的韻味。書中的“室內綠植”章節,也給瞭我很多實用的建議,讓我能夠更好地照顧傢裏的植物,讓它們真正成為我生活的一部分。我不再是簡單地把它們當做擺設,而是像對待一位朋友一樣,去瞭解它們的需求,去感受它們帶來的平靜與喜悅。這種“與植物一起生活”的狀態,讓我覺得非常充實和幸福。
评分一直以來,我都在尋找能夠真正將我與自然連接起來的書籍,那種不隻是圖文並茂,更能觸及靈魂,引導我用全新的視角去審視生活與周遭的綠意。直到我翻開《Bringing Nature Home》,我纔意識到,原來我一直在尋找的,並非僅僅是關於花草樹木的知識,而是那種“與植物一起生活”的哲學。這本書並非枯燥的百科全書,它更像是一位溫柔的朋友,在低語,告訴你如何在鋼筋水泥的叢林中,為自己開闢齣一片生機勃勃的綠洲。它不是簡單地羅列植物名稱和養護技巧,而是深入淺齣地闡述瞭為何要將自然引入傢中,以及它對我們身心健康的積極影響。我特彆喜歡其中關於“自然的花束”的章節,那不僅僅是關於色彩與形態的搭配,更是對季節變遷,對生命輪迴的詩意解讀。作者用極其細膩的筆觸,描繪瞭每一朵花的姿態,每一片葉的紋理,仿佛能讓你嗅到雨後泥土的芬芳,聽到微風拂過枝葉的沙沙聲。它教會我如何從自然中汲取靈感,如何用最簡單的方式,將自然的野趣與生命力帶入我的日常生活,而不僅僅是擺弄幾盆盆栽。這種“帶迴傢”的概念,不僅僅是物理上的搬運,更是一種精神上的迴歸,一種與自然和諧共生的生活方式的倡導。
评分我一直對“與植物一起生活”這個概念抱有濃厚的興趣,但總是感覺有些遙不可及,就像是屬於少數有天賦的人的領域。《Bringing Nature Home》卻用一種極其親切和接地氣的方式,將這個理念展現在我麵前。它不是高高在上的學術論述,而是充滿生活氣息的分享。我尤其喜歡書裏關於如何營造“自然感”的室內環境的那些細節。它不僅僅是關於放置多少盆綠植,更是關於如何通過色彩、材質、甚至是光綫的運用,來模擬自然的氛圍,讓傢成為一個可以真正放鬆身心, Recharge 的空間。我被書中對於“自然的花束”的描繪深深吸引,它讓我明白,真正的美,並非總是來源於精心修剪和完美無瑕,而是存在於一種自然的、不加雕琢的生命力之中。作者用富有詩意的語言,描述瞭如何從野外采擷,如何用最樸素的容器來盛放,如何讓花草的形態本身就成為一種藝術。這不僅僅是關於插花技巧,更是關於一種生活態度,一種對生命細微之處的欣賞。我開始嘗試著去觀察,去發現,去將那些平凡的植物,賦予它們不平凡的生命。
评分我一直是個對自然充滿嚮往的人,但城市的生活總是讓我感覺與自然漸行漸遠。《Bringing Nature Home》這本書,就像是一位知心的嚮導,引領我重新走近自然,甚至將自然的美好帶迴我的生活中。我特彆著迷於書中的“自然的花束”章節,它不是機械地傳授插花技巧,而是啓發我用一種更具藝術眼光的方式去感受植物的美。作者用細膩的筆觸,描繪瞭從野外采擷的簡單花草,如何通過巧妙的組閤,煥發齣動人的生命力。它讓我明白,真正的美,源於自然本身,無需過度雕琢。而“室內綠植”的部分,更是為我打開瞭一個全新的世界。它不僅僅是關於如何選擇植物,更是關於如何讓植物融入我的生活空間,成為傢的一部分,為我的生活帶來生機和治愈。我曾一度以為自己是“植物殺手”,但這本書讓我看到瞭與植物和諧共生的可能性。它讓我開始留意身邊的每一株植物,去感受它們的呼吸,去聆聽它們無聲的語言。這種“與植物一起生活”的體驗,讓我感到前所未有的平靜和滿足。
