Written from our own experience of growing, in a simple, easy to follow style, this manual will guide you through the process of growing and nuturing annual and perennial plants for cutting.
 
If you love flowers and would like to learn how to grow your own this is the perfect guide for you. I promise, once you get going, you will be hooked!
 
A little bit about us.
 
We moved to Birch Farm in Dec 2019, it is a 1 acre smallholding on the outskirts of Manchester.
 
Having moved from a house with a tiny garden to a 1 acre plot was incredibly exciting and we quickly started work outside. The plot was originally a paddock so when we bought it, it was laid to grass.
 
We created beds and starting growing vegetables, but quickly discovered a passion for growing flowers. Since then virtually every free moment has been dedicated to nuturing and expanding our micro flower farm.
 
Having been bitten by the growing bug, Elizabeth is currently studying Horticulture with the RHS.
 
We have gained so much knowledge over the last few years and are delighted to share some of our learnings and experience with you, so that you too can enjoy the magic of growing your own flowers.
