Two years ago this week, our tiny Floret Team huddled in my dining room to celebrate the release of my book, Cut Flower Garden.
Not in my wildest dreams could I have imagined how far the book would travel or the impact it would have on so many people!
Virtually every day I get notes from readers who share that the book inspired them to grow flowers for the very first time. I love hearing their stories of tucking some flowers into their veggie patch or even tilling up part of their backyard to create their own cut flower garden. The most gratifying, however, are the letters from readers who want to let me know how much joy flowers have brought to their lives. These personal notes mean the world to me.
My goal in writing the book was to encourage others to plant more flowers and cultivate more beauty in the world. So it is thrilling to learn that the book has helped so many people do just that.
Incredibly, the book is now in its 11th printing, after selling more than 85,000 copies.
Cut Flower Garden has been translated into five languages so far, including:
- German: published by Verlagsgruppe Random House
- Korean: published by Hans Media
- Russian: published by Mann, Ivanov, and Ferber
- Simplified Chinese: will be published by Hubei Science and Technology Press in the autumn of 2019
- French: will be published by Museo Editions in the autumn of 2019
