A Comparison: Cut Flower Garden vs. Landscaped Flower Beds
One of the most common questions we receive is, “What is a Cut Flower Garden and how is that different from a landscaped flowerbed?,” so here’s our best explanation of how they’re different and what exactly we offer for your garden.
WHAT IS A CUT FLOWER GARDEN?
First things first, what are we talking about? Cut flowers are exactly what you think they are: flowers grown for cutting. Unlike landscaped flower beds, cut flower gardens are designed to be enjoyed both in the garden and in your home. Cut flowers are used for pressing, dyes, gifts, or just your enjoyment. You can even decide not to cut the flowers and have your garden be somewhere you visit, somewhere that can restore you after a hard day. Or you can make your own bouquet for your table or a neighbor (without the grocery store premium). What we love most is that your cut flower garden can be different in spring, summer, and fall, and can be designed new every year.
Here’s a basic breakdown between the two:
