A MARVEL TO BEHOLD

It’s a female-led month in the arts… Here’s what to see and do

It’s spring, at long last. Soon we’ll be tending to our gardens, allotments or pots on our balconies. Nothing says spring like fresh flowers (maybe that’s why Mother’s Day falls in March). Annabelle Hickson is on a mission to show just how easy (and affordable) flower arranging can be, and her new tome, A Tree in the House (Hardie Grant, approx €29), out March 7, is filled with ideas to inspire you to forage for fresh blooms to give or display in every corner of your home... Just maybe check the weather forecast before you turn your wood-burning stove into a vase.
