BEHIND THE SCENES
Growing Flowers
Our summer cutting garden is a labor of love from the very first seed. Across our greenhouses, thousands of plants are started by hand, nurtured carefully to ensure strong, healthy blooms. We grow over 25 different flower varieties, each with its own needs and rhythms, from soil preparation to care and watering.
By the time they reach the garden, these flowers have been shaped by months of hands-on attention, ready to burst into color and fragrance. Every bouquet you cut is the result of countless hours of planting, tending, and cultivating, bringing a little piece of our farm’s dedication to your jar.
Flower Cutting FAQs
As we prepare for this year’s harvest, here are some of the questions we’re asked most often.
FLOWER VARIETIES
Choose from a variety of a large, medium, small and filler flowers to make a stunning bouquet full of textures and colors. You'll find a variety of zinnias, lisianthus (think small roses!), snapdragons, cosmos, amaranth, millet, marigolds, basils, strawflowers, celosia, herbs, stock, dahlias, sunflowers and coneflowers.
IS THERE A PROPER WAY TO CUT FLOWERS?
Absolutely, there’s a right way to cut flowers in a cutting garden, and it makes all the difference for both the plant and your bouquet. Always use clean, sharp scissors or garden shears, and cut stems at an angle about 1–2 inches above a leaf node or side shoot. This encourages new growth and keeps the plant healthy for more blooms later. Remove any leaves that would sit below the water line in your vase. With a little care, each snip helps the plant thrive while giving you a longer-lasting, more beautiful arrangement.
ARE THERE ANY RULES for kiddos?
Little ones get so excited in the flower field and we LOVE how much they love to be surrounded by all the cool things. We do ask that our kiddos refrain from running, row hopping and handling flowers they don't plan on cutting. We do encourage lots of wonderful playtime on the main lawn and in the trike yard.
