Carol's increasing botanical knowledge led to a concept for a series of books where she chose 10 top plants that were interesting in all life stages entitled ‘From Bud to Seed’ - published by Conran Octopus. Carol photographed each stage in exquisite detail revealing a beauty and character unseen by the naked eye.

Carol was commisioned to select the images for The Good Housekeeping’s ‘Herb Book’ by Jane Eastoe, a directory of 65 of our most popular herbs revealing their culinary use and properties as cosmetic and medicinal remedies. Carol has selected a beautiful range of images of the healing herbs in their natural environment.

Carol composed love inspired flower images to represent the seasons, beautifully illustrating Harrods 'Seasons of Love', an anthology of poems and prose.
