Want to fill your home with fresh flowers this year? Plant a Cutting Garden!
Part of the fun and excitement of gardening is enjoying the beauty of the flowers. Plan this year to design your own cutting garden for one of a kind bouquets directly from your garden!
Planning your cutting flower bed
When planning, remember this is a cutting garden. How many times have you admired a flower in your garden but didn’t cut it and bring it inside because you didn’t want to spoil the look of your garden outside?
That’s why the best possible solution is to create a designated cutting flower bed. This new garden bed, if possible, should be in a sunny location that is farther back of your garden. A location that you won’t mind picking the flowers from, one that won’t be disturbed if you decide to make a design for your kitchen table. Short on room for an additional bed? Try planting large containers in a sunny location that you can pluck a flower or two from easily.

I like the bouquet of flowers, the tulips look beautiful.
It is a time to look at the flowers blooming from its roots, watching the beautiful flowers in winter will be much warmer heart.
Ordered butterfly attracting annuals and perennials seed. The high school host. is starting them, to plant a Monarch Waystation at the school and for me to plant at home. Adding nicotiana, tuberose, and cosmos plants as that was what was always planted in cutting garden of the previous owner.
