Beskrivning

There are several reasons for drying plant materials, one of which is the copiousness of available materials. It is estimated that approximately 80% of flower species can be effectively dried and preserved. Advanced training and costly equipment are not necessary to create a variety of designs. Unlike fresh flowers, which quickly lose their commercial value and quality, dried ornamentals can be sold for extended periods if properly preserved, packaged, and handled. Another distinct characteristic of dried ornamentals is their versatility. They can be utilized in various crafts according to ones preferred style, design, and application. This book aims to promote the use of dry flower technology among students of horticulture, agriculture, and enthusiasts.
