A friendly guide to the simple and mindful practice of growing and enjoying cut flowers in every month of the year.

Flowers have the power to heal, connect, and bring joy, often when we need it most. And more importantly, the best flowers are those grown with your own two hands. 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. Gardener and therapeutic horticulturalist Elizabeth Brown offers thoughtful, step-by-step, seasonally inspired narratives, information on the flowers to grow, and more, including:
  • Focusing on your vision, color palette, and floral style
  • Developing a cohesive garden plan, and installing garden beds
  • Exploring floral design and creating arrangements with freshly cut flowers
  • Inspiring floral art activities and natural dye projects​, and more …

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.

You, too, can grow flowers to enrich and bring brightness and balance to everyone's daily life!
