Reviews"Byczynski, who quit her city job to become a flower farmer, has interviewed hundreds of farmers who grow flowers as all or part of their income; she offers profiles of 12 of them. Byczynski emphasizes organic flowers because organic-farming practices protect both people and the environment. She gives advice on selecting seeds (recommending foolproof flowers for the novice grower), site and soil requirements, buying and starting plants, growing and caring for them, and creating a dried-flower garden. The author discusses growing woody ornamentals (certain species of trees and shrubs) that can be used in floral designs as well as harvest and postharvest procedures. She gives advice on arranging fresh flowers and on going commercial (marketing and pricing). There's a list of 100 recommended cut flowers, full-color photographs, and black-and-white line drawings." - Booklist review by George Cohen

  • Best Must Read Flower Farming Book - Perfectly Concise & Practical

    I would highly recommend this book as the very 1st resource material to anyone considering flower farming whether to sell fresh cut flowers, dried flowers, and even to other fresh farmed/grown marketplace goods. I found it in a list of top books anyone considering flower farming should read and I'm thrilled that I did. I've been gardening for years and learning along the way, and outside of personal experience and trial and error, I've learned more from this little book than anything else I've read. She doesn't just tell you what to do or not to do, she tells you why. It's full of wonderful practical tips and guidance, and loads of reference material on where to find more resources and products based on her years of experience. I can't begin to explain it well enough, you MUST READ it for yourself.
