Drying flowers is an excellent way to bring the scent and feel of summer into the house in the winter, and can also be used to create decorative arrangements around the home. In addition, most of the flowers which dry well are beautiful, and can enhance the garden before you collect them for drying. As a general rule, when drying flowers, pick out the best specimens on the individual plant, as drying has a tendency to highlight flaws in the flowers. Handle your chosen flowers carefully, and try to have a space set aside in the house for drying flowers so that they will not be jostled or damaged.
