Praise for Sean Pritchard's first book, <i>Outside In</i>:<br/><br/>'I devoured this sumptuously British step-by-gorgeous-step guide to when to seed, plant and pluck in a single sitting.' - Richard E. Grant<br/><br/>'<i>Outside In: A Year of Growing & Displaying</i> is that rare thing - the most ridiculously beautiful coffee-table book that is also a mine of useful information when it comes to what to grow when for year-round cut flowers. His interiors aren't too shabby, either.' - India Knight<br/><br/>'<i>Outside In</i> is not only stuffed full of practical advice and tips on nurturing a garden and displaying plants and flowers in the home, it is also a thing of romantic beauty. Sean's overflowing, colourful arrangements have put a smile on my face countless times: he has a natural ability to put together flowers, books, fabrics and assorted treasures in a way that feels effortless, charming and deeply personal.' - Luke Edward Hall<br/><br/>'Armed with flower-whisperer Sean A. Prichard's new book, mom can bedeck her home with backyard-blooms year-round-or just luxuriate in the pretty pictures while sipping a nice cuppa.' - <i>Wall Street Journal</i><br/><br/>'Inventive, considered, and thoughtful design.' - <i>House & Garden</i><br/><br/>***<br/><br/><b>Sean Pritchard's hotly anticipated new book, <i>Atmosfloric: Flower colour in home and garden</i> explores how to grow flowers for colour and bring them indoors for visual impact and atmosphere. </b><br/><br/>The garden allows us to play with colour. Unlike the colours in our interiors, colour in the garden is fleeting and fickle, and with that comes an exciting opportunity to experiment with a changing performance of colour month after month and to bring those colours indoors for constantly changing displays.<br/><br/>Colours are considered in three mood-based chapters: Romantic, Energetic and Reflective. For each chapter Sean reveals his favourite flowers to grow (with plant lists and inspirational planting plans) and shows them in a range of inspirational interiors.<br/><br/>As with <i>Outside In</i> the photography is by the author, who has photographed some highly sought-after gardens and interiors in England and France including the iconic Charleston Farmhouse and Kettle's Yard, plus the homes of Richard E Grant, Sam McKnight, Marin Motagut, Butter Wakefield, Isabel and Julian Bannerman and Anthony Watson of Atelier Vime.<br/><br/>Sean also takes a personal look at colour theory and explores the relationship that gardeners and gardener-artists have had with colour through history.
