  • Overview

    Pretty Dirty is no ordinary flower book: it's a richly illustrated ode to the life cycle of flowers, from how they've grown to arranging them in unique ways, to their inevitable decomposing and disposal.

    Melanie Stapleton, of floral studio Cecilia Fox, is a tireless advocate for making the flower industry more sustainable. Pretty Dirty is richly illustrated with beautiful images of flowers in the wild, floral collaborations, both by Mel and her ‘flower folk’ from around the world, as well as stylised images of compost and floral waste that prove beauty is not just in the eye of the beholder. Mel will share her tips and tricks from a lifetime spent with flowers and feature stories from some of her favourite 'flower folk', from the growers and wholesalers to other florists and those leading the charge on changing this pretty dirty industry.
