You are such a treasure. You do your grandparents proud!
Lisa Ziegler's "Cool Flowers" really has helped me expand my flower garden. Thank you for introducing her book to me, Danelle. I sowed 7 new varieties this past October, I can't wait to see them!
I’m truly enjoying cool flowers. This has to be a stroke of good luck that I found your Utube channel. Thank you so much.
I got cold chills when you mentioned “Boxcar Children”! I LOVED those books! What an amazing legacy from your grandparents - how blessed you are!
I didn't realize how vibrant dried flowers could look until I saw the vlogs on You Can't Eat The Grass, she has beautifully dried flowers.
Danielle, I love this video! Thank you... I have purchased others you have recommended in the past and I look forward to finding a few of these. You are a dear, such a wonderful way to honor your grandmother's memory. In your life of flowers. Bless you ❤
You are a so kind and generous soul! Always love to watch your content and learn with your! Best wishes!
I loved your stories about your grandfather and reading. I’m an English teacher and it’s so fun to hear how kids develop their love of reading.
Thank you! I hope to read your book someday 🌷
You should write a book.
We need a part 2 :) Thank you for this video
I was ‘window shopping’ on Amazon this evening and ended up ordering 3 books……….Cool Flowers (Reg price $22.95 Amazon $17.99), Cut Flower Garden ($24.87) and The Flower Hunter (Reg price $40.00 Amazon $29.56). Amazon was having a promotion on certain items where you buy 3 and the lowest price item is free. So, Cool Flowers ended up being free.
Thanks again for sharing your love of flowers.
you just extended my flower book wish list! It's even longer now!
Thank you Danielle- these books get me through the winter and inspire me! I requested that our library buy them all! Waiting to see if they will. I own several of them already - I am especially fond of Sarah Raven’s books. I think YOU should write a book! Not all of us have flower farms and are trying to grow cut flowers in a few beds and in our landscape. There are really no books out there for how to do this in the landscape garden. That’s how I found your channel - searching for how to grow cut flowers for the home owner incorporated into the landscape. Your garden is beautiful and you have so much to share for how to do this! With cut flowers being such a popular movement, NOW is the time for you to write your book! And…be sure to include pictures of you in your garden!
My copy of Sarah Raven’s book arrived last night and it is so fantastic for what I need in the garden right now! Bought it based on your recommendation. Thank you, Danielle!!!
Thank you so much for your videos, Danielle! I'm learning so much from you as I'm just starting my own journey into growing a cut flower garden (also in PA, zone 6b). I'm a former librarian, so I always appreciate fellow book lovers and I can't wait to check for these ones! You're the best!
That's my pet peeve with Gardeners World videographers, they do more close ups instead panning the whole garden.
Thank you for sharing your favorite flower books. I purchased Cool Flowers by Lisa Mason Ziegler and it arrived just minutes ago!! 💚🌸🌷I'm so excited and I jus can't hide it 🎶
I love listening to your childhood memories, it really resonates with my own.❤️ Such precious memories. Ordered 4 books off your list.
Thank you for all the book titles, Danielle. I bought Cool Flowers because of your recommendation on a different video, and I agree that every gardener should own that book. It is full of information that many or most of us probably never knew, and it is written in a straightforward, interesting way. It has definitely changed the way I will garden from now on. I plan to check some of the other books you recommended today as well. Thanks again.
We all need to have a well stocked book shelf...because if the internet was disrupted wed be wondering how to do everything! What is the name of the amaryllis by your left shoulder...so dreamy!
I bought some clearance bulbs at walmart....because I cannot afford to spend a lot on just one bulb...and ive been so pleased at how resiliant some of these bulbs have been. Big thick stalks and suprised at which ones i end up loving the most...because the pics dont do them justice. I love them all but my biggest wows are the Tinkerbell...three stalks each give an amazing show of such beauty...and the Marquise...big double beautiful flowers but the lack of stems and flowers in quantity are made up for by the huge full double blooms....im just having the best time discovering new developments daily and is the gift that has just kept giving. I have many more blooms and types to wait to open every day.
I will have to look into Tinkerbell! Sounds lovely! The one in the vase is Sweet Nymph (a pink double), and the ones on the other side of me are sweet star (light pink single) and flamenco queen (red and white). I hope you have a lovely day!
I have a few of these...they are treasures. Waiting for your book now......😉
Love your stories about your Grandparents 💕 I miss my Grandmother so much 🕊 lovely books Danielle 🤗
Hi Danielle. I bought Chris McLaughlin book called Growing Heirloom Flowers-Bring the Vintage Beauty of Heritage Blooms To the Modern Garden. I enjoy this book every time I refer to it. Her cover is absolutely beautiful and textural. She also describes the history of flowers as well as growing them with tips. She also has a sense of humour that is entertaining.
Thank you Lois! I will order that one!
Thank you for sharing! My must have book is “the well-tended perennial garden”. It is largely a reference book, but it is the one book I have found that focuses on maintenance. I really need a book like that for annuals (and biennials), being rather new to growing them
Enjoy the video !!!
Thanks for your suggestions on the books…
Great resource 🌻
#1 fan from Pittsburgh
One of my favorite flower books which is rarely mentioned by others is "Garden to Vase" by Beutler and Mandell. I also love "Cool Flowers". Lisa Mason Ziegler shares great advice for free -- she truly inspires me as you do.
Thank you for that recommendation Sandy! I will look for "Garden to Vase."
No one ever offered me money to read books. If they had, I would be rich. I do think you should get a commission for the number of "Cool Flowers" bought on your recommendation, including my copy .it is an epic discovery. As for the other titles, they are my own Book of the Month Club since I will buy one every month. Thank you for your wise counsel! You are a treasure!
Thank you for this video. Ordering books now.😊 Absolutely love your videos. You are amazing!!💜🌺
What a great video! I haven't bought any new gardening books in awhile, but I think I might have to now lol. One book that I do rely on quite often is an older one by Barbara Damrosch - The Garden Primer. For inspiration, I always go back to Martha Stewart's Gardening Month by Month and Rosemary Verey's Good Planting Plans.
Thanks Daniel this was great I love to spend the winter reading up on gardening I am in zone 6 woodstock ontario
I love Sarah Raven!
Thank you, Danielle! You are such a treasure! I love your enthusiasm and your sincerity. I will definitely get my hands on these books!
Danielle, I bought Cool Flowers after you had mentioned it in another video and find it to be a great resource. So glad I bought it. However, it has been your videos that sparked a fire in me to finally create the cutting garden that I’ve wanted for many years. Your videos helped me understand what I need to do to succeed, and your flowers….simply gorgeous. I am also in Lancaster County, so it’s super easy to follow along. I check every day to see when you might be starting seeds or what you’re doing in the garden. Thank you!!
Great recomendations! Now to ordering some!
Based on your previous recommendations I bought 2 books, Cool Flowers and Floret's Cut Flower Garden. I have found both extremely helpful. Now, I will have to head to my local book store and pick up another. Thank you for always sharing your experiences with us. 🙂💐
It looks like the books you have chosen are more about design. I like to read about plant hunting and gardeners of long ago. I have most of the books written by Frank Kingdon Ward & a lovely book based on a journal of Lady Mayo. These are not the only ones though.
Great recommendations. I have a dried flower bunch in a vase from a site called bloom and wild in the UK, they are stunning even after a year.
What a wonderful video. I bought Cool Flowers based on your recommendation earlier this year and have really enjoyed it! So full of great information. Thank you for the work you put in to teach us about flowers!!
I will be adding each of this to my collection. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for a great list! I have a couple of these but can't wait to add to my collection!
Thank you sharing more about your legacy from your grandparents, such wonderful stories and insights in to your life!
Thanks to you, I have several of the books you’ve mentioned. 💚👩🏼🌾
Wonderful list, they’re all sitting in my wish list now. Now just to pick which one to start with!
You spoke so eloquently about all of these books! 🌸👍
Hi Danielle, thank you for another wonderful video. I absolutely feel your love of gardening which thoroughly supports my own passion for all things floriculture. I admire your honor and appreciation for your grandparents. I admire people who esteem others that have made great contributions to their lives. A sense of gratitude is a wonderful thing.
Oh my goodness, you got me when you spoke of your grandparents and how they inspired you.....I am a grandma to five, so your story of them was really special. Is your garden named after your grandma's ?
Yes it is!
Thank you so much, was just thinking about what book to check out of my library next. Or purchase! This is the start of my gardening library.
I so appreciate your videos. I also purchased Cool Flowers and just love it! Thank you for sharing more books. I'm excited to get another of your recommendations!
I always learn so much with each of your videos!! I now have several books to add to my library. I love Cool Flowers so much and all of the Floret books!! 😊❤️
🌻Thank you Danielle! I do also think its important to know and understand these authors and there journeys through there gardens as well.🌻 🌲🌳 Your Arora is just so bright and cheerful!!
Thanks for sharing 😁
This is just what I needed. I love your descriptions and it was helpful you gave a glimpse inside the books. I just love your channel and Instagram. Hugs from Ohio.
I will definitely be giving these books a look! Thank you for this! I didn't really come from a family of gardener's so things like this are so helpful!
As always, great recommendations and will be adding some to my library. I loved Sarah Raven's book and Flower Confidential has been on my wish list for a while. I've been hunting for floral frogs in antique and thrift stores...and have found a few, so Color Me Floral is a must have! Thank you Danielle!!
As always, you provide such great information. Curling up with one of these books would be the perfect way for me to spend a winter's evening!
Loved Frank Peretti as a kid. :)
What lovely sentiments. ❤️
Hi pretty lady. How are you doing today? And how is the weather over there?
Wonderful list ! I didn't have "Martha's Flowers" yet and I didn't know about the trouble shooting section , thank you Danielle !
Thank you, Danielle for this list. I went straight to Amazon and bought The Posy Book and Everlastings. I even still had a gift certificate credit from Christmas so double bonus! Thank you for all you do. You make these cold winter months a little brighter!
So many interesting ones! The Posy Book sounds fun. Giving specific flowers with intent. Thanks for continuing to educate us! I’m resisting buying them all right now😉
Thanks for the great list. I already own some of these books. I'm sure to check out some new finds. I'm growing in zone 3. A short but intense growing season. Great for cool flowers.
Love the recos ❤️❤️❤️
I love the video camera that you are using!
Hi Danielle, your suggested list of books could not have come at a better time! As I sit here in my sunroom with the -30°C windchill outside I am longing for the days of early morning visits to the nurseries . I really appreciate your overview and list of the books. As others have mentioned, you should definitely write your own book as you have so many helpful hints and stories to share! ❄️❤️🇨🇦❄️
Love this video topic! Thanks again for all of the great information Danielle. 🌸
Hi pretty lady. How are you doing today? And how is the weather over there?
Really good review! Though I’m not a cut flower gardener, I own one and have another on my wish list. But watch out, library here I come. I love looking at pictures, learning about flowers, and dreaming…. Thank you for another good video.
I love dried flowers too. I grew up watching Martha Stewart also. My mom never sat down but kept her on as like background noise
Flower Confidential is truly a MUST READ! My husband got it for me some years ago. It reads like a novel!
This is such a great assortment of books! Now, off to my library to see which ones I can order. Fortunately, I don't have to leave home to do that, I can request the on-line from my library, who can also source them from other local libraries for me. Thank you for this great information! I'm sure it will lead to a revised list of new ideas for my spring garden!! 🌺🌺🌻🌻🌼🌼
Such a beautiful collection Danielle! I'm sitting here in our snowstorm/blizzard in Massachusetts. I'm planning my first cutting garden for this Spring. I've grown dahlias and zinnias but never for cutting. For some reason I have such reservations about cutting flowers out of my garden. Thanks for sharing!
Great tip in the intro about utilizing the local library. And if they don’t have a book within the local network, they can often find it via an inter library loan. I use the service all the time and appreciate it so much! I’ll be looking up some of these for sure ☺️
Thank you for putting together another book show and tell, these are wonderful videos. I worked for a florist 25 - 30 yrs ago, I wanted to open my own and name it Petal Talk, I have the book Floriography, it has beautiful vintage style illustrations. I have Sarah Ravens The Cutting Garden, I'll look for her new one. I just bought Lisa's book last summer, I seen on PepperHarrow Farm channel about Larkspur, that was spring, I put my whole planted container in the freezer for a week or so, then the fridge and after that I had germination. My mom had beautiful Larkspur in her gardens, I am ordering Martha's book right now, my mom Martha loved her shows, as did I.
Beautiful recommendations. Remembering the audio book for Peretti's "All is well" still makes me tear up.
Thank you Danielle🌸Those books look beautiful 😍 I think I will first check out Martha’s book. I need some trouble shooting with my flowers 💐Next year I really want to grow a pink Amaryllis 💖Yours are gorgeous!
Great info!! Will look into some books you suggested! Thanks Danielle love your channel!!!
Hi pretty lady. How are you doing today? And how is the weather over there?
This is the perfect video to watch today, in the midst of a giant snowstorm! I have some of these books (and love them) but thank you giving me some amazing new suggestions!
I hope you are okay Nicole! Are you getting the bomb cyclone there???
@@NorthlawnFlowerFarm Yes, we are ok! Thanks for asking :) Luckily the wind isn’t too bad and it’s even starting to die down. We still have power! We are in Nova Scotia, Canada.
Fueling up on coffee then heading outside to shovel for awhile 😂
Danielle, I love your channel, and I am so happy I have found you because you are a very inspiring person to me. I am a foreign Dentist and I am trying to be a flower farmer as well. So, when you said your GP was a dentist I connected with you because I am always learning and reading. I love your book's recommendation. This was a great video, and thank you for sharing all your knowledge about gardening.
Hi pretty lady. How are you doing today? And how is the weather over there?
It seems plants and books go together like PB &J for many of us! Anyone else design reading nooks throughout their garden?!?
Bună doamnă drăguță. Cum te simţi azi? Si cum e familia si vremea acolo??????
I am going to plant some cool flowers this spring in 6B in Ohio. I'd love to hear more about what you plant in the fall.
Hi pretty lady. How are you doing today? And how is the weather over there?
Thanks Danielle for such detailed and beautiful descriptions of all these books!
P.S. That Amaryllis on your right is so gorgeous, can’t recall its name though.
Cannot say enough great things about your videos. Amy Stewart of Flower Confidential, has several other books and one of them, The Drunken Botanist, is also an audiobook. I listened to it last springtime while driving around admiring all the blooming trees. Your amaryllis look amazing and I was curious about the blue curvy top/lettuce edge vase. My now adult children were voracious readers and we called Barnes & Noble the cookie library! It always smelled like cookies and coffee. Yum. Thus it became a pricey pastime but well worth it. I recently found a book at a used bookstore/coffee shop (Grounds for Thought) The Library by Sarah Stewart. Anyone who loves to read would love this short (15 pages?) story that is adorably illustrated by David Small. Happy Gardening from Ohio!
Thank you so much for mentioning The Drunken Bontanist! I just put that on hold at the library. I inherited that blue vase from my great Aunt. It reminds me of shop Doris Day worked at in Pillow Talk - one of my personal favorite movies.
Just released last week
Garden Maker by Christie Puridoy
Just the introduction alone had me in tears as she describes the garden magic we are all trying to make.
Yes! I am reading that right now!!
Finding flowers by Anu Jokela. She uses a lot of weeds and other interesting ingredients.
When are you writing your book on the home flower grower Danielle?
Your amaryllis are gorgeous! I have some blooming now also and what a gift this time of year. Do you have any recommendations on where you like to purchase your bulbs?
Hi Claudette! I get my bulbs from Longfield Gardens.
I live in zone 5 so when should I plant larkspur? I've tried milk jug, direct sow, and indoor sowing. It just doesn't grow good. Thanks
Hi Cheryl! Larkspur is hardy to zone 6. In zone 5 I would recommend direct sowing it in very early spring - 6-8 weeks before your last frost. It takes a long time to germinate - 14-21 days - the bed should be kept evenly moist that whole time. I hope that helps!
Do you use frogs in all the bouquets you sell? Or just for designs kept at home..
Hi Laurie! I use the frogs for at home designs. The flowers at my stand are in sauce or Mason jars.
