Description
Bring the vibrant joy of your garden inside with this essential guide to growing and arranging cut flowers from Sunday Times bestselling author Sarah Raven.
Find plenty of inspiration and practical advice such as:
-How to choose high, medium, and low productive cut-and-come-again plants so you can enjoy bountiful vases of home-grown blooms.
-Which plants should form the backbone of any cutting patch or garden, large or small.
-Plant rotation, with a selection of plant groups coming in and out of the same patch of soil.
-A year-round plan to achieve efficient cut flower production and ensure highest possible production from minimal space.
-How to condition and arrange your cut flowers for maximum impact and longevity.
With this information up your sleeve, you'll have a house full of flowers and a garden that looks better-always jam-packed with color-because of your harvest.
I'll take you through the year and show you everything I've learnt about growing cut flowers over three decades, but most of all why having home-grown cut flowers in one's house is an easy life transformer.
