Having spent thirty years working in the pot plant and cut flower industry author Su Whale learnt that there were generally only two questions customers asked when purchasing a houseplant. First was, `where can I put it?' the second, `how often should I water it?'

Author Information

Su Whale's career in the horticulture and floristry industry began in 1989 when she started work in a garden centre, and it was there, five years later that she took the decision to train to become a florist. The next move was to a busy retail flower shop in south Birmingham where, as well as attending the local collage, she learnt the trade. Su is now a freelance writer who, as well as producing books on cut flowers and foliage is also a floristry consultant for Interflora, a job which takes her to all the major RHS shows and floral events around the country. In 2011 Su and her husband Brett set up Jago Publishing, a small independent company with the aim of bringing practical, straightforward reference books for all those involved in the floristry and horticultural world.
