How Does Your Garden Grow?
Milli’s latest book, How Does Your Garden Grow, is a gentle and inspiring guide to creating a garden filled with flowers throughout the seasons. Drawing on years of hands-on experience, it offers thoughtful advice on design, propagation, and seasonal care - making it a companion for gardeners of every level.
Rooted in the simple pleasure of growing, the book celebrates the richness of colour, texture, and the quiet joy found in the natural world. Throughout, it is beautifully illustrated with photographs from Milli’s own flower farm, captured by Éva Németh, bringing each page softly to life.

Beauty does not need to come at the expense of the environment, our aim is to get more sustainably-grown flowers in beautiful colour palettes grown in gardens and used designs.
