How to Grow the Flowers: A Sustainable Approach to Enjoying Flowers Through the Seasons is an inspiring guide by Camila and Marianne that invites you to deepen your connection with nature through flower cultivation.
This practical book emphasizes the joy of growing your own flowers, maximizing even the smallest of spaces. With a focus on sustainability and environmental stewardship, the authors encourage readers to look beyond traditional gardening practices. They highlight the importance of sourcing local blooms, reducing reliance on chemically-treated, store-bought flowers that travel long distances.
Through their insightful observations, Camila and Marianne illustrate how attuning ourselves to the flowering seasons fosters not only our gardening skills but also our role as caretakers of the planet. Whether it's a cherished rose or a delightful brassica, the beauty of flowers can be found in the most unexpected places.
This guide empowers everyone—regardless of gardening experience—to engage in the rewarding pursuit of floriculture. Embrace the beauty of nature and transform your home with flowers that hold personal significance and sustainable origins. Join the movement towards greener gardening practices today!

Sherlock & Pages is a little bookshop with a big heart. We are based in Frome, Somerset, England and curate lists of books in the areas we are passionate about – landscape, nature, history, and heritage. In short, the conservation of all we’ve inherited and all we are responsible to pass on. We aim to inspire and be inspired, to form a literary culture of care and passion about this precious planet we call home.
This is a shop where you might find something you haven’t seen before, and we like to think we’ve got something for everyone. We choose each of our books with care and for a reason. This is because our physical store is small but beautifully formed, holding only around 1200 titles at any one time. We try and recreate the feel of the shop wherever we are online, to reflect our niche categories and personality.
We have an active social media presence and aim to share our story with all our friends. The long-term goal is to build a hub for the books and writers we believe in. Who knows where our adventure will lead but by supporting Sherlock & Pages you’re helping us to add a further layer of magic to our little corner of the world. If you haven’t visited our physical store, one day you might just make a literary pilgrimage down to Somerset.
Our tagline is ‘Long Live the Hedgerows’ and our symbol a hibernating dormouse. If you want to support an independent with a unique character and which will share stories with you for years to come, then choose Sherlock & Pages. The world needs bookshops with soul, for they are ‘citadels of light.’
