Are You Ready to Start Your Own Cutting Garden?
We love having a cutting garden, both for what it provides us (blooms & bouquets) and what it does for the planet, like conserving resources and promoting biodiversity through eco-gardening practices.
If you've been thinking of starting one yourself, here are a few things to consider.
1: Where Your Garden Will Be
Before you can start planning your garden, you’ll need to know where it will go! While you don’t need an entire field to start your garden, you will want to look at how many (and what size) planting beds you’d like.
In addition to how much space you’ll need, consider things like the spacing for various plants and what type of sunlight you’ll need. These are important factors for deciding where your garden site will be.
2: What You Will Plant
Then, it’s time to decide on what you’ll plant. You may have some ideas of this from researching what plants work well in your climate, level of sunlight, size of planting bed, etc.
You can also consider what you would like to group together into a bouquet, or what is popular in your area if you’d like to sell any flowers!
3: Your Most Important Garden Tool
Lastly, consider your most important garden tool: your plan. Planning is the most important garden tool you can have. It will save you time, money, and stress, and allow for the most success when it comes to healthy soil and plants.
