One bed, twelve feet by four. Flowers every week.

Stop Buying Bouquets.

One Small Bed That Fills a Vase Every Week — From $20 of Seed.

A cutting garden is not a flower bed — it plays by different rules. 40 chapters cover the whole year: what to sow and in what order, the cut-and-come-again varieties that bloom harder the more you take, when to cut so a bunch lasts nine days instead of three, conditioning stems the old way, and the winter jobs that decide your summer. One book. Yours forever.

A Garden That Looks Loved.

The Habits People Read as Green Fingers — From the Front Path to the Back Gate.

The Rulebook is the part nobody writes down: why her garden looks effortless and yours looks like effort. 180 short rules across 10 sections — beds that hold their shape, roses that don't sulk, pots by the door, paths, hedges, the Sunday evening round with the secateurs, and what to simply stop doing. Read one rule a day, or the whole book with a pot of tea.

From my cutting table

This is what the book grows.

Every bunch on this page came off the same bed — twelve feet by four, behind the greenhouse. I cut on Fridays. This is an ordinary week, not a good one.

Dahlias in a zinc jug — September dahlias, straight into the jug.

Garden roses wrapped in brown paper — Roses and rosemary, tied for a neighbour.

Sweet peas in a jam jar — Sweet peas — the more you cut, the more they come.

A note from the author

“I wrote these so the garden my mother kept would not end with me.”

I didn't learn any of this from a garden centre. It came from Sunday evenings walking the beds behind my mother — her apron pockets full of twine, deadheading as she talked, a jam-jar posy left on a neighbour's step on the way home. Every rule in these books started there.

Most of it was never written anywhere. Her dahlia tubers wintered in newspaper under the spare bed. The sweet peas went in on Boxing Day, always. When she was gone, I went looking for the book that held all of it. There wasn't one. So I wrote it.

These books are not about a perfect garden. They are about a productive one — a garden that pays you back every single week, in flowers on your table and in something quiet that money never bought.

A gift before you decide

Read the first chapter free.

Type your email and I'll send you the first chapter of The Cut Flower Bible — the whole beginning, free. No spam. Just the chapter, and a hello when the sweet peas go in.

Before you choose

Simple answers.

No subscription, no special tools, and no greenhouse required.

Which book should I start with?

If you want flowers on the table this year, start with The Cut Flower Bible. If you want the whole garden — beds, roses, paths, pots — the Collection is the better buy. It costs $12 less than the two books separately.

Are these physical books?

They are digital — PDF and EPUB, delivered to your email the minute you order. They read beautifully on a phone or a tablet, and they print cleanly if you like paper with mud on it.

Will this work in my climate?

Yes. The methods are built around your last frost date, not a map — every sowing chapter tells you when to plant counting from yours. Hot summers and short seasons both get their own chapters.

I have a small garden — or just a balcony.

The cutting bed in the book is twelve feet by four, and there is a whole chapter on doing the same in pots and troughs. You need sun and a bit of nerve, not acreage.

What if the books are not right for me?

Reply to your delivery email within seven days and you get every dollar back. No forms, no questions asked.

One decision, kept for life

Your garden is ready when you are.

Order now and both books are in your email before the kettle boils. Seven days to change your mind, every dollar back.
