The Flower Gardener’s Series
Harvesting and maintaining flowers well are some of the most important skills in a cutting garden. In this summer session we’ll focus on how and when to harvest flowers for the longest vase life and healthiest plants.
Together we’ll walk through the garden identifying stems at the right stage for cutting, and discuss conditioning techniques that help flowers last longer once they’re brought indoors. We’ll also look at simple ways to keep plants productive through the height of the season, including pruning, harvesting frequency, and garden care during warm weather.
After harvesting, we’ll bring our flowers back to the table and spend time arranging them, using what we’ve gathered from the garden that day. This part of the session connects the work of the garden to the vase, exploring how freshly cut stems can come together in relaxed, seasonal arrangements.
This class is especially helpful for anyone hoping to bring armfuls of flowers indoors throughout the summer and fall.
