Plants have been my landmarks in turbulent times, guiding me back to solid ground.’
Blossom celebrates the ever-changing beauty of the natural world, but it isn’t just about admiring flowers from afar – it’s about engaging with them in meaningful ways. From making natural oils and perfumes to crafting floral vinegars and pickles, Picker provides readers with a treasure trove of recipes and activities to explore.
