Do you dream of a flower garden or balcony bursting with vibrant colors? Do you love decorating your home with vases full of beautiful and fragrant flowers? How do you choose from the hundreds—perhaps thousands—of varieties of annuals, biennials, and perennials the best ones, and how do you ensure your cutting garden blooms all year round? Angelo Dorny guides you in Plukplezier. A year of sowing, planting, and picking flowers. From seed to plant, from preparing your flower bed to caring for spent blooms, from composting and fertilizing to overwintering, propagating, and sowing dahlia tubers, from pesky pests like slugs and aphids to bee-friendly cut flowers... In this most comprehensive guide to the cutting garden, you'll find answers to all your questions. But there's more! Angelo shows you how to create the most delightful bouquets and floral arrangements from those stunning flowers. He shares tips on how to keep flowers fresh in a vase longer and how to dry them, so you can enjoy their colorful beauty even in the winter months.
