This is probably the best, most helpful gardening video I’ve ever watched! Such a simple, straightforward plan. I can’t wait to try it this year! Thank you!

Thank you so much. I’ve wanted a cutting flower garden for my own use and have a 3x6 ft. Raised bed. It’s so helpful to have the succession schedule. I know how to do that for veggies and now your generosity has encouraged me to try it with these flowers.
First time viewer here. I must say I've watched this video 3 times and took notes on everything. You're such a good teacher. I appreciate the fact that you went step-by-step step with the diagram, the whys and whens about timing and height, and your recommendations for your favorite varietals. I'm subscribing to your channel because I'm still a relative newbie as a flower gardener.
Can you please do a video about a plan for a romantic garden with Peonies, roses, Ranaculas,Hydrangeas, Allums and Tulips for a beginner?
Yes!
This is most helpful, clear, and concise video I have seen for cut flower beginners (me!). I have been planning my first cut flower garden and have been a teensy bit overwhelmed with where to plant and how often and how much I could even grow in a raised bed. I can’t begin to say how helpful this is! I would love to see another 4x8 beginner bed with just filler plants and foliage for bouquets!
This is the only cut flower garden guide I've ever tried and it has been WONDERFUL!!!!! I cut five vases full today for the first time.
Every year that I’ve gardened I get more excited about the flowers than the vegetables. I learned the hard way that cosmos can be a bit invasive when left alone, and zinnias will always have a place in my heart for being so generous and easy to grow.
I just had my fourth baby in December and got it in my brain at the same time that I should start a cut flower garden. I was about to give up but this layout was just what I needed! Thank you! ❤
This is great! I would love to see a similar video for additional cut flowers... bachelor buttons, nigella, snapdragons, strawflower, etc.
The most accessible, helpful flower garden plan I've ever seen. Your videos are so well organized and packed with information.
Thank you very much for the kind words ❤️
Hands down the best guiding video I have watched and I watched thousands of gardening videos in the past 3 years. THANK YOU!
Great video, Bri! I really appreciate the way you break everything down. Would love to see more videos like this from you!
Yes please!!!! Week 8 -15 garden plan and also a fall cool flower plan. Thank you for this!
I find it hard to leave space blank in the garden but you have encouraged me to do succession planting with flowers because the first flush of flowers is always the best.
Great advice to mulch the empty spots so that they are ready for planting when the time is right.
It is so hard!! You can absolutely fill it in with things like crimson clover or buckwheat to help feed the soil (and those can create some beautiful blooms as well)!
This was really helpful. My daughter is only 5 but loves picking flowers from the garden. I am trying to get a cut flower bed for her this year and these were some really great ideas. I also had no idea mum's could be perennial!
Mine is 6 & I’m also doing a cutting garden for her. She loves picking them for grandma, friends at nursing home, etc. ❤
I’m planning on starting a cut flower garden next year, so I have been watching every video I can to learn and this one was SO helpful!! Thank you for this!!
This is a very helpful guide for anyone growing a cutting garden and wanting blooms through the summer. Thanks for making it. It's helpful it's in my zone too, but should work for anyone who keeps an eye on their days to maturity in their zone.
This is the best tutorial I’ve watched on cut gardens!! You taught this so well, thank you so much!! I’m in Zone 4 and looking forward to trying this in the spring/summer!
I will totally do this! I was just wondering how to start a cut flower garden but felt a little overwhelmed, the spacing is especially useful because I’m prone oversow everything lol
This was amazing!! I would love to see a plan for a cut garden that dries well for dried bouquets!! ❤️
Lovely idea!
I garden in zone 9 on wind swept Atlantic coast Ireland. I was trying to sort out my very first cutting garden. Thank you for your guidance and instructions they were extremely clear. ❤ M
This is exactly what I’ve been looking for!!!! I tend not to start small, I squirrel, and then overwhelm. You’ve made it easy to understand and doable. I love that you don’t have to start by seed with this plan! If you had to approximate- how many bouquets do you think this is possible to make- just thinking about gifting a cutting garden on church grounds to use as our “floral budget” and wondering if I won’t need two beds at some point. See…always thinking bigger-ooof!
THANK YOU SOON MUCH for doing a cut flower garden planning video! Love how you are explaining the layout on a grid WITH succession planting info. I grew cupcake cosmos last year, and they are hands-down my favorite of the year. Such beautifully delicate-looking shape and color!
This video is so perfect! I'm starting a large cutting garden this year and needed this reassurance!
You're such a sweetheart for sharing such valuable tips. I deeply appreciate you taking the time and interest in sharing your tips, tricks, and flower picks. I have wanted to grow a flower cutting garden for several years but haven't been able to. I recently moved into a house in Upstate NY. We are in Zone 5 and don't have a lot of space to grow food, let alone a flower cutting garden. This information got me excited. Thank you so much! Happy 2023 gardening.
Thank you soooo much for a great breakdown of one manageable bed! Very helpful! Would love to find a vegetable garden explained this way too.
You just made my morning . Easy Peezy cut gardening . Im very small gardeners and this will be so fun!
This plan is SO easy to follow! i will definitely try a raised bed with this method :) love that the planning is easy and concise, and doesn't require seed starting!
This is exactly what I need! I have a 4x8 bed I'm using for cut flowers. Great video!
Ahhhh I'm am so overjoyed I found your channel!!! I am ready to binge🙈 This will be my first year and I know almost nothing so thank you for your kindness to share all your knowledge over the internet
Thank you ! Great simple plan ! Very nice to get myself beyond the overwelm !
This was fabulous! Thank you so much for this and your most recent video. I’m so grateful I found your channel. 💕
I had to stop and subscribe before the end of your video. I'm already thinking of where can I steal some space to give this a try. I tend to start seeds inside but I always find myself throwing some seeds here and there during the season. This video reminded me of how important it is succession planting! Thank you!
Thank you so much and welcome! ❤️😊
You are number 1 with me.I love your direct get to it style. You are certainly a professional. Love your color palette too. Your videos are teaching me things and I’ve been gardening for 50+ years Thank you!
Great plan! You explained succession plant really well. Simple and straight forward. Much appreciated!!
You cannot begin to imagine how happy you have made me! I have dreamed for YEARS about pulling this off but have always been a little reluctant in moving forward because of "the unknown." This is so straight forward and obtainable. Thank you from the bottom of my heart!❤❤
Love,love,love…Thank-You!
You're welcome!
What a fabulous video! I am so impressed with your simple, straightforward and informative approach to sharing gardening information! Thank you so much🌺
Since I can't like these garden plan videos as many times as I've watched them (A LOT!!!), I'll like the comments. You are so inspirational, Bri!
This is the first of your videos I have seen. Thank you for such a clear, easy to understand and replicate, complete plan taught in a very approachable method. Even being new to cut flower growing, it looks completely doable. I'm going to check out more of your videos.
Thank you for the breakdown! I’d love to see a perennial version. I’m in zone 5a and often my direct sow gets knocked down by snow mid summer. I have frost cloth but don’t always get r done. I’m doing this in a new spot! Thanks
Great idea for easy perennial cutting garden!
@@Blossomandbranch loved this video - would love an idea for a direct sow garden that doesn't involve succession planting 🙂 thanks so much!
This was so helpful! Thank you from being overwhelmed to feeling calm and have a plan! You are a true gift!
This was amazing! Please do more!
I searched for this exact lesson last year, my first to grow flowers from seed. Thanks for another super useful video!
Thank you for a great instructional video! My friend is new to cut flower gardening and wants to start a cut flower garden. I will be sharing this with her!
Excellent presentation- you make a good teacher. Thank you for giving so much great content!✌🏼
Wow! What am amazing video! This was my first year exploring with a cutting garden. Your video was the most informative and intensive that I've watched! Love your content! Thank you!!!
Oh my goodness! I’ve been subscribed to your Instagram for a while and never wondered over here! This is the BEST video ever!!! I’m just dabbling in cut flowers this year and was feeling very overwhelmed with the planning of it all (I focus mainly on food production for my fam, but wanted to try selling some easy bouquets to help pay for some of the homestead expenses) this makes starting SO easy!!! I have room for about 5 of these sized beds, maybe a few feet longer than 8… I would LOVE a couple different bed plans like this that are easy to start and easy to tend, with different flowers so I could have a few different bouquet styles! Thank you thank you thank you for these videos!!! It takes the confusion WAY out of flower growing ❤️❤️❤️
Thank you!!!!!!!!!!! This was so informative! I am so grateful for your willingness to share what you know! So grateful!
Hi Bri, this was amazingly helpful! Thank you so much! I live in Arvada and have been planning my first "official" cut flower garden for this year :) Looking forward to checking out your classes too!
I am going to do this for my mom for Mother's Day! She won't want to use it as a cutting garden - she will just enjoy it from her screen house.
I'm in Australia but all this info was brilliant. Thank you!
Excellent tips. Great detail without dragging it out or assuming newbies know what you mean. I am certainly making a bed like this.
Thank you sooooo much for the step by step planning. It is so helpful for me being a new gardener even though I’m in zone 5🇨🇦 your content made it more understandable for me as I try cut flowers this year. ❤
So much helpful content! Amazing and just in time for planting my flower seedlings (zinnias, cosmos, sunflowers)! Next year I will try to direct seed which will save a lot of space and time. Instant subscriber. Thank you!
Im starting a cut flower garden this year amongst our vegetable garden, and this IS SUCH A HELPFUL VIDEO! Thank you, thank you!! What great information. I feel like you just saved me from so many missteps.
Glad it was helpful!
Your videos have been so extremely helpful to me! I learn something new every single one! Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge! I have grown a cutting bed the past two years and now this has given me some ideas along with the more advanced one that you did for doing some different things next year! I would love a video about the actual logistics of succession planting. I feel like I have some knowledge gaps, like if I have enough time in the growing season, could I clear a spent "square" of zinnias that I planted in a more "summery" color for a more fall color if I start them inside? I hope this makes sense. Thank you again for your knowledge and willingness to share it!
This is the BEST FLOWER VIDEO EVER!!! Thank you so much for this incredibly helpful advice
Hi from the UK 🇬🇧. I absolutely love your videos! They are packed full of useful and very clear information and instruction. Thanks to you I have made a really great soil blocking mix and I am just learning all the time. I loved this video. Thank you so much for taking the time in putting it together for us. I will be implementing this bed into my garden. I’m zone 8-9 so I’m hoping this will work well for me. I’d also love to see a plan for flowers that like part shade part sun if your able to do that it would be awesome as I don’t have a big garden and I do have a lot of shaded areas. Many thanks Helen. 😊
This was a great video! I am attempting my first cut flower garden this summer and those are the flowers I had decided on because they are my favorites as well! Thank you for all that information! I would love to see more like it and am subscribing! ❤
Would love to see the flower varieties listed out in the description.
I'm so happy I have found your videos. This one is so helpful. I'm from Ukraine and have some land, losing my job gives me an idea of a cut flower garden. Your videos are so helpful and easy to follow. thanks
I’m happy you found us too. My thoughts are with your country. My grandmother fled Latvia when Russia invaded in the 40s. ❤️🇺🇦
@@Blossomandbranch thanks for your kind words and lots of happiness to your family
This was the best, most helpful explanation I’ve seen yet! I was overthinking things, especially about succession planting.
Super helpful for those of us who are home gardeners with many other responsibilities and no time or space for indoor seed starting. Thanks.
Thank you for making this video, I was very confused about how to actually start
how did I not find this video last year. That was the first year for me trying a cut flower garden and it was underwhelming. I got some nice flowers, but not all that I wanted it to be. THIS video may be the game changer for me. I don't have a 4x8 bed but I can adjust using the square foot method. I' excited about trying this. I do have some perennials in there that I don't want to pull up this year so I'll just work around them. I already have most of the seeds so I'm excited about trying this! Thank you for this...very clear instructions!!
I am starting flowers this year for the first time and I enjoyed this video a lot. Thank you for a great and informative video!
BEST VIDEO WE'VE EVER! I really hope you did more of this series, I'm off to check right now!
Hands down the most helpful video on this subject, thank you so much!
This is going to be my guide when I start my direct sowing in my very small bed. Such a great video to help me realize that I can have a lot of flowers even though I do have a small bed.
I loved loved loved this video!! So good! Thank you!
What a helpful video! I hope to grow a planned cut flower garden this year - thanks to you!
A great video, thank you! Succession sowing made simple. I’m confident to give it a go. More videos like this please.
This is a great video with a lot of valuable tips! I really appreciate you thinking specifically of those of us with a very limited space for starting seeds indoors. I am definitely in that camp.
Love your honest energy, and your gardening wisdom!!!! Thank you
I really appreciated this video, and immediately ordered everything to plant one! Growing outside usually works well for me, but I never know what to plant when to have nice cut flowers. Thanks for the time and effort you put into your great videos!
Loved this video! Yes to more of them, maybe with veggies mixed with flowers?
Loved this video! Great hands on, practical plan and advice. Now I am ready to succession plant better, I tend to put everything out at once... And the size of your plan match my beds so very handy - Thanks from Sweden
Such a helpful video!!!! This is my first year trying a cut flower garden and this is immensely helpful! Thank you!
This. Is. Brilliant! Planning succession planting has been one of my biggest issues and this planning makes so much sense 😮
Thank you! Love this!!! This is the most useful video I’ve ever seen for how to start a flower garden. Thank you for making so much information so accessible and easy to understand!
Loooooove this!!! Thank you so much. All of your videos are so helpful!!! I’d love information on an herb garden plan!! For year round harvesting!
I would love a similar plan but in the horizontal format instead of the vertical you did in this video. I am VERY new at cut flower gardening as in this is my first year attempting some cut flowers. 😅 Also, LOVE this video it's SUPER helpful!
So helpful! I bought some mums from bluestone before they sell out. I hope our Seattle sogginess doesn’t stop them from perennializing.
Chrysanthemums do great in the Seattle area! I have grown mums in containers for several years, the same containers they come in at the nursery in the fall. The larger sizes have survived in containers, but the smaller ones always die off. I also read that they have a better chance of surviving if you plant them in the ground as soon as possible so that they have time to root in before freezing temperatures.
Thankyou so much v helpful . I am a flower farmer in the UK on a mission to spread the flower word so am running little pop up workshops for the first time . Am going to steal some of this .xx
Such a good video! So easy to follow, detailed, informative and it gets me so excited! I appreciate the actual detailed facts without random fluff. Honestly amazing content, thank you!
Thank you! You have made this older lady's brain stop hurting by doing this! Love your videos and your big heart for sharing such valuable information! Question for you...what is the botanical name for the mums? I went to Bluestone perennials website, their instructions are to keep pinching up until the 4th of July. Your mums do not look short and super full like regular mums, but longer. How are your growing your mums? Are you pinching as they recommend since yours look so long.
❤it so informative! One year I over planted cosmos and zinnia and they grew so tall
Okay~a bit concerned so I am watching again and quacking ordering in the morning. I will prepare the space in the meantime… kinda of excited
You got this! Hit me with questions as you’re going! ❤️
Awesome video! I love this idea and it seems so doable in a smallish space! Thanks!
My issue is rabbits and squirrels they got all my sunflowers last year. I love that you're in a similar freeze zone, I can't plant like zone 9 climates.
Thank you!! Putting together a shopping list now!
Could we get a picture of your faves? I want to do what you have proven and figure I can change it up later once I get the method and infrastructure figured out.
This is sooo wonderful!!!
This was SO helpful! I can't wait to try this next year, thank you!
This was a fantastic video. Perfectly explained. You're a great teacher and I'm looking forward to trying these techniques.
Thank you! I’ve been gardening for decades, and this is one of the most concise, helpful videos ever! I can’t wait to try this! More please! Pest management?
This is great… I’m working with a 4x10 … first video that popped up.
Wonderful! Have fun!
Thank you! This was so helpful! So clear and easy to follow. I am excited to give it a go once my backyard is less of a construction zone! Thank you, thank you, thankyou!
Best video I’ve seen for starting a small-ish flower garden. I’m always lost on what to do and give up, but this is perfect. Hopefully I’m not too late for my zone since last frost was a few weeks back. 😅
Great video! I would love to see more. Thank you!!
This was an awesome video and you are an excellent presenter. Lots of facts and helpful tips. Perfection!
Thank you so much , as a complete newbie faced with some empty sm and lrg beds your video has been an inspiration now I know where to start . very helpful thank you
This is such a simple, yet thorough, video! I just found one of your other videos yesterday and then watched this one and have now Subscribed. You're instructions and timing are more suited for MY planting zone, which is more timely for me to follow. I live in a small clearing in the middle of woods, so my growing circumstances are a bit more challenging, but I might be able to manage a 4x8 space (provided the deer & squirrels don't trash my plants)
Thank you so much for the feedback!! It sounds like an amazing (if challenging) site!!
