Growing Cut Flowers Workshop

About this event

Bring the beauty of the garden indoors! Discover how to grow flowers specifically for cutting and learn what it takes to keep a steady supply of beautiful blooms growing right in your own backyard. In this hands-on workshop, participants will explore the process of growing cut flowers from seed to harvest, with special attention given to the opportunities and challenges of gardening in Florida. Learn about flowers suited for our climate, how to prepare your growing space, start seeds, care for developing plants, and determine the right time to harvest for beautiful, and long-lasting blooms. Along the way, we’ll share practical tips for planning a cutting garden that provides flowers to enjoy throughout the growing season. Whether you’re dreaming of buckets of homegrown blooms or simply want a few fresh stems for the kitchen table, you’ll leave with the knowledge and confidence to get growing. Participants will also get their hands in the soil by starting flowers to take home and continue growing. No previous gardening experience is necessary. This workshop is perfect for beginning gardeners, flower lovers, and anyone interested in growing more beauty at home.
