Description
A modern guide to help you grow cut flowers for pleasure or profit.
Fill your home with the colours and scents of flowers you've planted yourself, and enjoy the mindfulness, patience and creativity that growing them brings.
In The Flower Farmer's Year, artisan flower farmer, florist, and educator Georgie Newbery shares everything you need to know; from starting a cut-flower patch, optimising bed layout and choosing what to grow, to cutting, conditioning, and arranging your flowers. A comprehensive year planner is also included to keep your land productive all year.
