Claire Foster is the gardens editor at House and Garden magazine and together with photographer Sabina Rüber this book gives instruction on how to grow flowers from seed. The book is broken down into sections on choosing the flowers to grow - from cottage garden favourites and edible flowers to bee friendly flowers and exotic beauties. The second section deals with the practicalities of sowing seed, both under cover and directly into the ground and the third section concentrates on how to use the flowers and plants, from use in a border, to creating a sweet pea arch and also arranging your cut flowers. Some of the excellent photographs of flowers were taken in the cutting garden of our friend Tammy Hall at Wild Bunch Flowers who lives just outside Ludlow.
