Creating a Cut Flower Garden
It would be wonderful to have a vase full of fabulous cut flowers on your table every day but, have you priced those bundles of blooms at the grocery or florist lately?
We say, grow your own with a cut flower garden!
Now, not every flower is suited for a vase, so let us teach you the best flowers to plant for those gorgeous arrangements!
