Cut Flower Garden for Beginners

Do you want to know the biggest lesson I've learned as a flower farmer?

You can grow SO many flowers in a really small space. I'm talking hundreds of stems in just 32 square feet.

If you've dreamed of growing your own cut flowers, but you're not sure where to start, this simple cut flower garden plan is for you.

It lays out my top 6 recommendations for summer annuals that are:

• Easy to grow

• Grow quickly and mature in a similar timeframe so you always have enough flowers for your kitchen table!

• Don't require any indoor seed starting whatsoever! Of course, you can get a head start by seeding in trays under grow lights if you want to, but it's not necessary with this cut flower garden plan.

You won't find yourself outside with a packet of seeds, frantically Googling how exactly you're supposed to plant them (is it just me who has been there too many times?!). This cut flower garden plan covers all the details for each flower recommendation, including:

• Where to get your seeds

• Which varieties to choose

• When to start them

• How to start them

• Spacing

• Pinching requirements

• The ideal harvest stage

• How to harvest.

We'll cover:

• Your 32 square foot garden layout

• Mini growing guides for each of the 6 cut flower recommendations in this plan

• Working with your last frost date

• Succession planting basics (it's not complicated, I promise!)

• Which flowers you should pinch and which you shouldn't

• My exact seed shopping list for this cut flower garden and recommended varieties.

You'll be harvesting fresh flowers all summer long :)

This guide is for you if:

• You want to grow your own flowers but figuring out how and when to start your seeds - and which ones even make good cut flowers in the first place! - feels totally overwhelming. This simple cut flower garden plan breaks it all down for you in an easy-to-implement way ;)

• You just want to focus on growing the flowers! You like the idea of saving precious time by outsourcing your cut flower garden plan. It even includes a shopping list complete with links...because that would have saved me SO much time in my first year!
