The beginner's cut flower garden : grow, nourish, and create bliss year-round

Elizabeth Brown

The Beginner's Cut Flower Garden is the perfect book for gardeners who are dipping a toe into growing cut flowers for the first time. Both an inspirational and practical guide to dreaming a cut flower garden into existence, Brown offers thoughtful, step-by-step, seasonally inspired narratives and activities paired with stunningly beautiful photographs of her cut flower garden on the coast of Maine. With the poetry of a classic horticultural guide and the accessibility of a contemporary garden club, Brown brings a collaborative, welcoming spirit to the process of growing flowers: we're all beginners here. In Winter, budding gardeners start simply by focusing on their vision, color palette, and floral style. Once a cohesive garden plan has been developed, it's time to take to the earth and install garden beds in Spring. High summer is for exploring floral design and creating arrangements with freshly cut flowers. Finally, there are various floral art activities for when the garden is more dormant, including dried and pressed flowers, natural dye projects, and making sun prints, expanding the range of how flowers can enrich and bring brightness and balance to everyone's daily life"--
