Articles with tips, advice, and lots of inspiration in gardening
Here we share tips, advice, and inspiration about cultivation from all the experience we have at Florea and our ambassadors. When it comes to cultivation, you never really stop learning, it’s always a fantastic journey for new experiences. One year, spring comes early, the next it arrives late, the third year there are extra many killer slugs, and the fourth year we get no rain. What we’re saying is that no year is the same as the other, and growing zones don’t have to be set in stone.
Our motto is that a seed always wants to sprout and it’s okay if you fail. Even the most experienced do not always succeed with their cultivation, and that’s how it will always be. Sometimes, it’s not the result that’s most important, but the journey there. Welcome to read our articles to get tips, advice, and also be inspired about what new things you should try this year?

Grow Parsley
You can never have too much parsley! Fortunately, this versatile kitchen plant is easy to grow, overwinters as a biennial outdoors and is great for growing indoors.
Grow Sage
Sage is a luxurious perennial herb that can be harvested all year round. Sage has a rich, distinctive flavour and, as its name suggests, can often be a saviour in the kitchen.
Grow Chili
Chilli is easy to grow and easy to get into. There are a plethora of varieties with different colours, shapes and strengths. The more of the colourful fruits we harvest, the more we want to grow next season.
Grow Leek
Once you start growing leeks, you never stop. Leeks are hardy in the countryside and versatile in the kitchen with their mild, delicious flavor.
Grow Cornflower
The brilliant cornflower is a classic in the summer meadow, on the table at a summer lunch and braided into a clear blue wreath with buttercups and daisies. Dried to an eternal colour, cornflowers give a summer feeling all year round.
Grow Rosemary
Rosemary is an evergreen and deliciously fragrant semi-shrub, which can also be grown into a small tree. It's hard to walk past rosemary without rubbing a few leaves to get the scent on your fingers.
Grow Kale
Kale is one of the best things for the hobby gardeners. It's tasty, healthy, easy to grow and beautiful to look at.
Grow Cucumber
The flavour of home-grown cucumber is almost incomparable to the one you buy in the shop - it's on a completely different level. Growing cucumbers is not difficult and often gives a rich harvest throughout the high summer.
Grow Mint
Mint is a very useful spice that is easy to grow almost everywhere. But make sure to limit mint's space, so that it does not take over.
Grow Corn
There's something romantic about growing your own corn. The tall, stately plants give the garden a sense of the American South. And fresh corn is one of the best things summer has to offer.
