Book - Seed to Vase
Inspiring stories of growing cut flowers
About
But these people found so much more than that. This book details some of their lives and experiences as they learned not only how to grow cut flowers, but a great deal about themselves and one another. They found a community in which they all found inspiration and confidence, regardless of their initial reasons for joining the course.
Seed to Vase includes stories of bereavement, sadness, joy and laughter at a time when the world was facing restrictions in so many ways due to Covid-19. This was a time to rediscover nature and the simple joys in life.
Reviews
A lovely collection of stories about some of the participants of the Seed To Vase course during the Pandemic. All with different growing environments, levels of experience and personal circumstances. Intertwined with Roz’s own snippets of guidance and encouragement. Hardly able to put it down at night, and first thing to be picked back up again the following morning before leaving for work! This book would make a great gift, or a charming personal read.

I absolutely love this book, it is so inspiring and great to really see how last year's course members got on. It is fascinating to see how they have progressed since doing the course and each story just really grips you. Wonderful book, I keep re reading it every time I get a chance. Looking forward to the next one 😉

An easy read, I found myself drawn into the life stories of people as they share their journies into flower growing during the pandemic. This book demonstrates clearly how nature can help mental health in a positive way, and reinforced that it is okay to step back and reinvent yourself if needed. Something that really resonated with me. I would recommend this book to anyone.

A very easy to read inspirational book following a range of people on Roz Chandler’s 2021 ‘Seed to Vase’ online course. Each following a passion to grow flowers for many different reasons from choosing a different career path to dealing with bereavement. The book shows how therapeutic & enjoyable taking on the challenge of growing your own blooms can be. There are some lovely & poignant Winnie The Pooh quotes at the beginning of each chapter too which I adore.
I was lucky enough to do one of Roz’s online Rose masterclasses last year & a short taster cut flower course. This year I am signed up to the 2022 full Seed to Vase course, having been inspired by the stories in this book. A lovely read, well recommended.
