I was smitten.<br \/>\n&#8220;Before writing <i>The Memories That Make Us<\/i> I never thought about where bought flowers came from or what kind of work was involved in getting them from field to vase.<br \/>\n&#8220;Now that I&#8217;ve written the book, I really do hope that it helps to raise awareness of everything a collective like Consortium Botanicus stands for. I&#8217;m first and foremost a novelist, but I have also become very passionate about supporting Australia&#8217;s local flower growers.&#8221;<br \/>\nDanielle said Vanessa&#8217;s book was about so much more than flower farming.<br \/>\n&#8220;What struck me most was how perceptively she captures the complex relationship between beauty and toil that lures folks like us to farm flowers the world over,&#8221; Danielle said.<br \/>\n&#8220;Holistic flower farming, no matter what the scale, isn&#8217;t for the faint-hearted; especially if you aim to produce consistent, high-quality, perfumed blooms without using nasty chemicals and large-scale controlled environments. But, like a good book, flowers farmed in harmony with Mother Nature are good for the soul.&#8221;<br \/>\nDanielle will be in conversation with Vanessa for &#8216;Morning Tea and Blooms&#8217; &#8211; a special event for flower lovers and bookworms alike &#8211; from 10.30am &#8211; noon on Sunday May 13 at the Green Folly Nursery in Castlemaine.<br \/>\nLearn more about the cultivation of perfumed blooms and their positive impact on our lives, along with how flowers inspired Vanessa to craft her novel, followed by a Q&amp;A and book signing.<br \/>\nCost is $55 per person and includes a copy of the book and light refreshments.<br \/>\nBookings essential: www.vanessacarnevale.com\/morningtea. RSVP by Friday May 4.<br \/>\nThe book is also available locally at Aesop&#8217;s Attic in High Street, Kyneton.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a
