One of the amazing things about growing cut flowers is that you can do it on any scale that works for you, whether it’s with a handful of flower pots on the patio or on a large farm. When I first started growing cut flowers, we had a small city lot with two raised beds that had not only flowers, but vegetables and herbs too. No matter what scale you are growing on, the same core principles apply. This course aims to provide the foundation needed to start your first cutting garden. I will talk about our favorite summer and fall favorites that don’t require any indoor seed starting, row covers, or hoop houses to grow well. I will also discuss how to plan out your garden, prepare the site, grow healthy plants, and harvest flowers to enjoy in your home or to share with others.

• Variety Selection, Recommended Varieties, and Succession Planting

• Site Planning and Preparation
