For the beginner and backyard gardener, there is an extensive section on the basics, including:

  • Variety selection
  • Soil preparation
  • Planting, cultivation & harvest
  • Floral design

For the commercial grower, The Flower Farmer, 2nd Edition includes information about:

  • Larger-scale production
  • Advice about selling to florists, wholesalers, and supermarkets
  • Understanding the wedding and farmers market customers

This updated edition also includes revised profiles of successful growers, offering behind-the-scenes insight into the operation of some of the most cutting-edge flower farmers in the country. Because of the extensive revisions and enhanced content, The Flower Farmer, 2nd Edition is essential reading for those already in the flower business, as well as those who dream of growing flowers for enjoyment or profit.
