The Flower Farmer: An Organic Grower's Guide to Raising and Selling Cut Flowers, 2nd Edition

I got this as a gift for someone and they loved it

Tons of really great information for the practical flower gardener to the flower farmer. So glad I chose this book.

A must read for anyone interested in flower farming!

Cover is very nice and contents very helpful. Have been very enjoyable

To help me define how I want my flower farm to be set up and what I wanted to grow.

My brother and sister have a farm with fruits, vegetables, and livestock. They sell their products and plan to expand their product lines. They talked about book during a family gathering and loved the gift! Expect to be receiving early samples!!

Detailed. Practical. Easy to read. Answers all my questions!

If you’re going to buy just one book on the subject of flower farming this has to be it! I have bought and read a lot of books on the subject, this is the winner so far. Second would be Liza Mason Ziegler’s “Cool Flowers”, and number 3 would be Erin Benzakein’s “Cut Flower Garden”. I believe this one has the most comprehensive amount of information that is easy to understand and implement than any other book I’ve been through.

Good comprehensive book. I bought this as I had rented a four acre field and was going to really go for it and grow dahlias etc for profit. Although it all fell through eventually it was not for lack of knowledge. This book, although written for the USA, (I am in the UK), is an absolutely invaluable resource. How to get the maximum output from a given space, the economic considerations of going for a greenhouse or to invest in a cooler, (to preserve flowers after picking), it really has it all, including how to identify which flowers are in demand and how to go about marketing them. I got to the point of securing some deals with local florists, and the knowledge I gained from this book gave me the confidence to hold my own in negotiations instead of coming across like an apologetic amateur.Much of the book has still been of use to me outside of the business aspects. Not really into flower arranging myself but there is a good section on this. The photographs in the book are to the point, are relevant and professional. A good read and a good buy. Recommended.

This is a beautiful book, with concise and relevant information suited for purpose.I really like the color photos of the various flower layouts.Well worth bookshelf space for any enthusiast.Tom

Worth the wait - an EXCELLENT and helpful book!
