You do not need a flower farm to fill your home with beautiful, long-lasting bouquets.
The 15-Plant Backyard Cut Flower Garden turns one manageable 4 x 20-foot bed-and a few nearby pots or anchor plants-into a practical season-long cutting system. Instead of asking you to grow everything at once, it shows you how fifteen carefully chosen flowers and foliage plants move through five relay zones, from hellebores and ranunculus in the cool season to zinnias, dahlias, sunflowers, celosia, heirloom mums, eucalyptus, and more.
Inside, you will learn how to:
- choose between romantic soft pastels and a bright cottage palette
- start each crop by the simplest workable method
- succession-plant without overcrowding a small bed
- harvest at the right stage, condition stems, and extend vase life
- make minimalist arrangements, spiral bouquets, and abundant garden-style designs
- manage common pests, diseases, crop failures, and end-of-season decisions
- decide what to save, rebuy, overwinter, divide, or replace for year two
The book includes a first-year calendar, seasonal bouquet recipes, 36 realistic black-and-white instructional illustrations, quick-reference tables, a supply guide, troubleshooting help, and planning records.
Written for home gardeners who want useful stems rather than an overwhelming flower farm, this is a complete, realistic plan for growing more confidently, wasting less space, and bringing the garden indoors one weekend bouquet at a time.
