Vegetables Love Flowers: Companion Planting for Beauty and Bounty

I expected to be buying a book about companion planting detailing which flowers would help which vegetables to grow and instead it was more of a treatise on adding cutting flowers to your market vegetable garden and general information about why this is a great thing for wildlife and pest control. Information on what flowers to add and some growing tips but not quite what I was looking for. That said, it is a beautiful book, well photographed, nicely written and I enjoyed reading it.

What a load of junk! Totally misleading title. This book is about growing flowers ~ not about companion planting ~ no mention of which flowers benefit which vegetables.

Hi there! I cannot recommend studying with Lisa enough! Over the course of the last year I purchased many of the most recommended flower growing books, all which I found a bit thin on content and requiring further research. Reading Cool Flowers was eye opening and very clear on how to plant cool season hardy annuals earlier and when to do it. I also purchased Lisa's other book Flowers Love Vegetables and took her online seed starting course. All are superb and she generously offers many free resources, book studies, podcasts, talks to help to further clarify the content and answer questions! I wrote her company email to further clarify some misunderstanding and had the wonderful opportunity to correspond with Anne who further illuminated me and offered spectacular customer service! If I could I would offer 10 stars!

If you want a book on cut flowers in the garden, then this is useful (ish). Having searched for 'companion planting' and seeing this book come up straight away, I was hopeful that it would cover more detail (i.e. victim plants, plants that repel bugs, plants that aid others regarding nutrients, etc). But unfortunately it didn't. Very disappointed and poorer for it.

Bought for mother in law she enjoys it
