About the author Malcolm Hillier's lifelong passion for plants and flowers first found fruition in 1970 when, together with Colin Hilton, he started a garden design practice that went on to enjoy an enviable reputation around the world. A few years later they opened a flower shop in Barnes, London, which became a thriving business specializing in flowers for interior decoration. Over the years Malcolm has created flower arrangments, in his highly distinctive style, for many clients, including the makers of major feature films and television series. Malcolm's other great passion is cooking for others. His homes in London and on the Caribbean island of Saba provide wonderful settings for entertaining his friends.
