A green-fingered gardener, Amy Stewart has always delighted in the
sight of freshly cut flowers, but she grew increasingly curious and
uneasy about the journey those flowers take to reach her bouquet.
In Gilding the Lily, Stewart introduces us to the people, places
and plants that make up this multi-million-pound industry, from a
lily grower in the American Northwest to the rose fields of Ecuador
and the tulip greenhouses in Holland. Gilding the Lily is a
page-turning enquiry into the controversial practices that lie
behind each bloom, including the treatment of the workers in the
fields and greenhouses, the issue of patenting and the use of
pesticides, and the financial forces that drive the quest for the
"perfect" flower. It is also a wonderful story about the romance
and the reality of growingand cultivating flowers.
