excellent: I am in the flower buisness and this book is an excellent resource of quality information. I've read many other books of this type, but this one is by far the best.
The Flower Farmer An Organic Grower's Guide to Raising and S: This book was very informative. The author goes over every aspect of becoming a flower farmer from what flowers to grow, how to figure out what to charge, where to sell, how to preserve, etc. I can't wait to start my flower farm!
The Best: This is the best book We've found on the subject. We're starting a "cut flower" business in ME. It's an invaluable resource, and it includes lists of flowers, care, feeding, when to plant etc. etc.
Outstanding Flower Grower's Reference: I have been growing flowers for personal use for some time, and have recently decided to begin selling at Farmer's Markets, but where to begin? Ordering this book was probably the best beginning I could have happened upon - it is packed full of useful and realistic information covering all aspects of beginning a flower business, not only on growing but how to get started, marketing, how to price, where to buy supplies, how to learn more about the business, even where to purchase a canopy for using at the market and how to build a flower cooler. Also, the farmer profiles were informative, frank, and uplifting and the pictures were beautiful and helpful. I read this book from cover to cover, including the appendicies, which is rare for me - I usually pick out the interesting chapters and focus on them, but all chapters here were interesting! Thank you Lynn for a marvelous reference. Although I know I have hard work ahead of me, I am even more inspired to begin my small flower business after reading your book.
Flowers: I find myself reading the book constantly. I have yet to read it cover to cover, but instead I will think of a topic and I will read about it in the book. I have enjoyed reading about the flower farmers and it is quite inspiring. The book has great details on what and how to grow and where to sell. Now, I must go do it.
