Author Notes: Grace Alexander , of Grace Alexander Flowers, grew up gardening. Incapable of doing anything just for the fun of it, she accidentally became the owner of a quarter of an acre and set up her own floristry business. Juggling a full-time job as a trained consultant clinical psychologist and working on big, bold weddings got a bit too much, so she took an entrepreneurial sidestep, switching to selling elegantly packaged seeds in hand-made and hand-printed envelopes. Grace won the Florist Scholarship in 2017 and this is her first book.
