About this book

Whether you want to grow for pleasure or start your own business, The Flower Farmer's Year is the perfect guide. Grow your own cut flowers and you can fill your house with the gorgeous colours and heavenly scents of your favourite blooms, knowing that they haven't travelled thousands of miles – and you can make money while you do it! Combining boundless passion with down-to-earth guidance and practical advice, Georgie Newbery draws on her own experiences as an artisan flower farmer and florist in this delightful guide. The Flower Farmer's Year covers everything, from how to start a cut-flower patch and guidance on what to grow, to cutting, conditioning and presenting cut flowers, and creating a hedgerow for Christmas. For those interested in selling cut-flowers, the guide includes useful information on how to start a business, including where to sell cut-flowers, and marketing and social media tips. A flower farmer's year planner is also provided to make your cut-flower farm as productive as possible.
