BLOOMING SUCCESS
How to Tend and Harvest a Cutting Garden

Learn how to care for a flourishing cutting garden from seedling to vase. Former flower farmer Conner Parrish with Bloomistry will teach proven techniques for watering, fertilizing, staking, and pruning to keep your flowers blooming all season. Discover the best times and methods to harvest blooms for longer vase life and continuous flowering. You’ll also practice proper cutting techniques, bouquet conditioning, and simple garden care routines that make all the difference. Each participant will leave with practical skills, fresh inspiration, and a take-home kit to help you grow and enjoy your own homegrown bouquets.
