Planting cut flowers 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 displays that will fill your home with colour 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 décor and laying out your cutting patch, to planning ahead so you get your perfect palette of colour, 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.

Clare Nolan was the lifestyle editor of the Mail on Sunday’s YOU Magazine. Her work has also appeared in both the Saturday Telegraph and the Sunday Times magazines. She is the author of Making a House Your Home (Kyle Books).
