Beskrivning

There are numerous reasons for drying plant materials, one of which includes the abundance of available materials. It is estimated that approximately 80% of flower species can be successfully dried and preserved. Advanced training and costly equipment are not necessary to create a wide range of designs. Fresh flowers easily lose their market value and quality, but dried ornamentals can be sold for longer periods if properly preserved, packaged, and handled. Another distinct characteristic of dried ornamentals is their versatility, as they can be arranged in various crafts according to individual preferences, design, and use. This book aims to promote the use of dry flower technology among students of horticulture, agriculture, and enthusiasts.
