The Flower Farmer's Year: How to grow cut flowers for pleasure and profit Hardcover – October 23, 2014

I was very hesitant about buying this book and must admit to repeatedly putting it in, and then taking it out of my shopping cart. I am a professional gardener/nursery owner and am making the transition into the cut flower business. I was leery that this would be another 'fluff' book with beautiful pictures but no real substance. I was so pleasantly surprised to find just the opposite to be true! Yes, there are gorgeous pictures but there is also a trove of knowledge, tips and hints that will be so valuable to anyone in this business. The author explains it all in a no-nonsense way that had me jotting notes while laughing at her anecdotes. I have found that true gardeners are always willing (it's a compulsion with us) to share our love of flowers including our knowledge and Georgie Newbery does this in spades!

Lovely book with lots of GREAT practical advice

Book arrived in great condition. Seems it will be a good resource for learning to grow cut flowers.

I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book. It put the business of cut flowers in concise terms,building from the first chapter till the last. Well thought out and very informative for anyone looking to get into the flower venture.

It is a very beautiful and nice book. It offers great information if you are planting a cutting garden or planning to go bigger and become a cutting garden farmer. It gives you information about what, when and how to plant beautiful annuals, perennials, and bulbs.

This is a must have book for anyone starting their own flower farm. Have not finished reading it but what I have read is straight to the point and easy to understand. I love Georgie's style of writing. Would highly recommend this book - 5 stars is not enough.

Even tho this book is written from the UK, can easily be used by anyone. Her insight to the cutting garden plants, her business plan and how she has laid her year out, is perfect for those of us contemplating a cutting garden of any size. This will be read again once the snow flies this winter in the snowbelt of ohio!

I loved having the English persceptive on flower farming. It's a little bit different from the American written books and I highly enjoyed. I also love each section on the individual flowers

Nice bright pictures and great information on each plant. We’ll written! I recommend this book for gardeners that love flowers.

Loved everything about this book will be referring back to it for years to come.love this lady I follow her YouTube channel and find myself positively envious of her energy!!(the book looks great on the coffee table!!)

Thank you, Georgie Newbery, for sharing your experience on how to set up a cut flower business! Thank you. I just re-read this book for the second time in a few months and am terribly grateful for all the details shared and experiences shared. The only suggestion I would have is to include more pictures of the flowers/ varieties mentioned.

A great read and resource for anyone wanting to start growing cut flowers for profit or just some extra colour in your garden.

What an awesome book for a beginner flower farmer! So happy (and relieved) that I purchased this.
