‘I am passionate about growing cut flowers — it's been my main gardening obsession for over 30 years. It’s an ever-filling cup, gardening for the optimist, the greedy flower lover, who wants to fill their house with colour, scent and abundance without shopping. That’s me and I hope many of you and what this book is about, the things we can all pick month by month, what one should think of sowing and growing at that moment, and how I love to arrange what’s been picked.

I’ll take you though the year and show you everything I’ve learnt about growing cut flowers over three decades, but most of all why having home-grown cut flowers in one’s house is an easy life transformer.’
