Cut flower gardens; also referred to as cutting gardens are planting beds grown primarily for harvesting foliage, flowers and seed heads to make beautiful bouquets and flower arrangements to bring a piece of the outdoor landscape to the indoors. Select a nice location alongside a garage or at the back of your property. If there isn’t a space available to designate specifically for cut flowers, plant a variety of cut flowers throughout your vegetable garden or landscape. You will continuously cut the flowers and foliage to make bouquets, which makes a veggie garden a great space to incorporate your cutting garden. Some herbs with colorful foliage are very aromatic and make beautiful additions to garden bouquets.
