I don't think you can think about cut flowers without Floret. If I had to pick one of her books, my favorite is Floret Farm's Cut Flower Garden: Grow, Harvest & Arrange Stunning Seasonal Blooms. I love how she makes everything so accessible, and the pictures are so dang beautiful. Her passion stands out in the way she shares a deep love and understanding of the industry and the artistry. This book is full of tools and tips for any cut-flower lover.
Floret also has an incredible list of recommended books. If you've not seen her list, check it out here.
