Carozzi advocates for a sustainable approach to flower arranging, encouraging us to reuse materials, forage when possible, and put local, seasonal blooms to use. Avoiding standard vases, she offers inspiration for sourcing, making, and upcycling unexpected containers, such as rough-hewn wooden crates or vintage pots, jars, cans, and urns. Showcasing lushly photographed floral compositions that marry the modern with the rustic, Handpicked is a practical guide to creating flower arrangements at home.
