KATHLEEN MURPHY said An Amazing Book!. I was very hesitant about buying this book and must admit to repeatedly putting it in, and then taking it out of my shopping cart. I am a professional gardener/nursery owner and am making the transition into the cut flower business. I was leery that this would be another 'fluff'. Have not finished reading it but what I have read is straight to the point and easy to understand This is a must have book for anyone starting their own flower farm. Have not finished reading it but what I have read is straight to the point and easy to understand. I love Georgie's style of writing. Would highly recommend this book - 5 stars is not enough.. Arrived yesterday- what a beautiful book! Beth Taylor Arrived yesterday- what a beautiful book!! Started reading, then skipped ahead to the "rose" section. Gorgeous! Engagingly written, so excited to pour over it from cover to cover. I can tell already that this will be a book referred to again and again.
