"It's beautiful and has left me wanting to have a full-bloomed dahlia farm by the end of summer. Such an inspiring and beautiful read if you love flowers as much as I do."- Tieghan Gerard, Half Baked Harvest

"Benzakein (Floret Farm's A Year in Flowers), founder of the Floret flower seed company and farm, delivers a comprehensive and enthusiastic guide to planting, growing, harvesting, and displaying dahlias. Experienced gardeners will appreciate Benzakein's rundown of such advanced techniques as propagation and hybridizing. Anyone in search of a guide to dahlias need look no further."- Publishers Weekly
