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

I've heard so many flower farmers mention this book. As a home gardener who grows lots of cut flowers to give to friends and family, and considering a bit of part-time flower farming in the future, I'm so glad I finally bought this for myself. The author tells you pretty much everything you need to know about growing, harvesting, and selling cut flowers. As an added bonus for me, she lives in my part of the country and has similar growing conditions. I highly recommend this book!

Good book on the subject. I enjoyed it.

Purchased the first edition 20+ years ago. This edition has updates, but not as many as expected.Great books both editions. A must for your reference library, if you're a plant enthusiast or budding flower farmer.Lynn knows her stuff.Buy it! Buy it now!

Excellent my favorite resource for straight forward approach to flower farming. You will use as a resource for years.

This book was recommended by a presenter at a small farm conference a few years back. Finally I bought the book when the timing was right for me. The book has surpassed my expectation of information and will be a continual reference book for me. Very detailed information on all aspects of growing and marketing cut and dried flowers from the author's and from others many years of experience. Very practical information on what types of flowers to grow in different regions of the US and different avenues to market the flowers. Therefore the reader can adapt / tailor the information to suit their own situation. Already as a beginner, I have begun to apply the author's suggestions. I highly recommend this book to others who are considering growing and selling cut flowers. Good sources and resources in the back of the book. My only regret is I do not live on a farm next to author. I will read anything she writes.

This book was bought for my daughter, for her birthday. She loves it! Thank you for the beautiful gift and great information!

Good book

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.
