Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

Grow your own bouquets-from a packet of seeds.Imagine stepping into your garden with a pair of snips and coming back with an armful of flowers: zinnias in every color, fragrant sweet peas, tall spires of snapdragon-enough to fill a jug on the table and still have some to give away. That's a cutting garden: your own endless supply of fresh flowers, for a fraction of what a single store bouquet costs.Store flowers are expensive, often unscented, and wilting within days. A cutting garden turns that on its head. For the price of a few packets of seed you can grow buckets of blooms all season long, in colors and varieties no florist stocks-and here's the happy secret: many cutting flowers bloom more the more you cut them, so picking your garden keeps it flowering.In The Cut Flower Garden, Rachel Beilerwood shows you how, from seed to vase. Written for complete beginners, this friendly, jargon-free guide covers everything you need to grow armfuls of flowers and turn them into beautiful bouquets-no big garden, florist's budget, or designer's eye required.Inside this beginner-friendly guide, you'll learn how to: - Understand the flower types and the cut-and-come-again idea that keep a garden productive- Plan a cutting garden for any space-a bed, a border, rows, or a few large pots- Start flowers from seed, plug, and bulb, timed to your own frost dates- Grow the easy annuals-zinnias, cosmos, sunflowers, sweet peas-for fast, generous color- Add perennials, bulbs, and spectacular dahlias that return year after year- Pinch, support, and feed your plants for long, strong, florist-quality stems- Cut, condition, and keep flowers so your bouquets last a week or more- Arrange simple, beautiful bouquets with a foolproof focal-filler-foliage recipeYou'll also get quick-reference charts, a flower-by-flower directory, a season-by-season plan, and a first-year guide-plus a clear diagram for every key idea.Stop paying florist prices for flowers that wilt in days. Start growing your own.Scroll up, grab your copy, and sow your first bouquets this spring.
