There are so many amazing resources out there on flower farming that are full of amazing tips, guides, photos, and inspiration. But it can be a little hard to know where to start.

So I wanted to share with you some of my favorite books that have helped me as a flower farmer. Not every book is specifically about flower farming, but they are books that have helped me develop a more sustainable farm. So let’s get right to it.

One of the seeds I planted yesterday was saponaria, a small branching flower that I trialed last year. I love its movement and its airy nature. It is a flower that makes me think of children dancing.

I can’t wait to see it again this year, to see those soft pink and white petals dance in the bouquets.
