As Heard on The Daily Gardener Podcast:
French Country Cottage Inspired Gatherings by Courtney Allison
This book came out in May 2020.
In case you didn't know, Courtney is the author of the French Country Cottage blog and has a floral line with Balsam Hill. She also works as a freelance photographer and stylist for magazines. So, in short, Courtney was the perfect person to write this book. And the only bummer is that the book was released during the pandemic.
Now, what gardeners will love about this book is that Courtney shares all of her secrets for creating beautiful gatherings. And, hey, nowadays, we only entertain the people we care about - so we might as well make it extra special.
I love that Courtney's book shares all of her gorgeous tips and tricks for elevating gatherings. She shows how to add layers and depth to your entertaining, and her flower arrangements set the stage.
Here's what Courtney's editor wrote about this book:
"Courtney provides the styling expertise to host your own French Country Cottage–inspired gathering, whether in the backyard, at the beach, under an old oak tree, or in a country barn. A simple picnic; coffee by the lake; a cheese board for friends outdoors; a bistro table for two; a long table for a formal meal―each setting exhibiting Allison’s dreamy style for you to emulate. The pièce de résistance in every venue, any setting, is the gorgeous arrangements of seasonal flowers; Courtney’s bouquets will take your breath away, from spring to fall, for outdoors and inside."
This is one of my favorite books for 2020.
This book is 224 pages of French Country Cottage Style for gardeners.
