Modern Floriography- Flowers, Gardens, and Gifts Inspired by the Language of Flowers

“May the flowers and their ancient language that speaks to us all, but ever more clearly with Teresa’s help in Modern Floriography, be with you always…” 

— Jennifer Jewell, creator and host of national, award-winning public radio program and podcast Cultivating Place: Conversations on Natural History & The Human Impulse to Garden.

We have a million ways to communicate in the miasma of smartphones, artificial intelligence, and social media. But how do you find yourself responding to a declaration of love, the loss of someone important to you, or a celebration of an extraordinary or pivotal event? Cat got your tongue?

The phrases, “I’m praying for you” and “You’re in my thoughts” are excellent proclamations, but it’s time to ramp things up with the dialect of Modern Floriography. Transport your language skills and emotions to the next level and communicate with . . . flowers!

Teresa Sabankaya is author of The Posy Book and owner of a celebrated floral studio in the Bonny Doon region of Santa Cruz, California. With her latest book, Modern Floriography, Teresa is well-prepared to lead you on a journey of the human spirit through her floral arrangements, sentiment cutting gardens, and posy possibilities.

With book in hand, visit your local farmers market or even grocery store and treat yourself to a fragrant and colorful selection of flowers and plants. Peruse the online resources Teresa has thoughtfully compiled for your voyage into floriography. A rose is not just a rose, as you’ll soon find out through the book’s splendid photos, floral design recipes, illustrated gardens, and abridged dictionary.

If you would like Teresa to personalize your book please add your requested text to the 'notes' at checkout. Otherwise the book will arrive signed by author.
