Flamingo Estate Pleasure Principles

An irresistible and alluring modern almanac from world-renowned Flamingo Estate, celebrated for its luxurious seasonal and sustainable produce and products. This is the must-have guide to enhancing life with nature's gifts all year long—through planting, harvesting, cooking, or finding wellbeing through natural remedies.

Part field guide, part art book, and part love letter to Mother Nature, this handbook moves month by month through the garden, sharing stories, recipes, rituals, and practical wisdom for all those who want to live a little closer to the earth. It is for gardeners, cooks, nature lovers, and anyone trying to put their phone down, get their hands dirty, and find more pleasure in ordinary life. 

Drawing from his own home and garden at Flamingo Estate, author Richard Christiansen explores the people, plants, and stories that shape the seasons. He invites us to fall back in love with nature in simple, sensual ways: by growing what we can, cooking what is ripe, smelling what is in bloom, and noticing the small miracles happening around us every day.
