Planting flowers for cutting brings that 'grow-your-own' excitement to a whole new level - being able to step out of the back door and pick a single stem for beside the bed or pull together a posy for a friend is a joy.

In this beautifully designed book, brimming with inspirational photographs, Clare Nolan reveals her secrets for growing a bountiful harvest as well as styling spectacular homegrown arrangements that will fill your home with color and the gorgeous scent of the garden year-round.

She takes the mystique out of what to grow and guides you through the entire process - from choosing the plants to suit both your garden and home d cor and laying out your cutting patch, to planning ahead so you get your perfect palette of color, texture and shape to play with at the right time. A whole chapter on arranging will inspire you to create spectacular arrangements for your home without the need for complicated floristry techniques.
