Beautiful homegrown bouquets: how to get started with cut flowers
01.09.2023 - 13:17 / gardenersworld.com
I started growing flowers for cutting on my allotment over 10 years ago. I was really interested in where the food we ate came from, and I had started to wonder about the provenance of the flowers at my local florist and the ones in buckets at the supermarket. The more I read the more I realised growing my own would be better for the planet – many shop-bought flowers have a significant carbon footprint because they’ve been grown abroad and there are issues around the chemicals used to grow them, the demands made on local water supplies and the working conditions of the growers and pickers. I also preferred a certain style of flower arrangement, something that looked like it had been picked from the garden, with a looser more natural feel.
When I moved house five years ago I had to give up the allotment and my cut flower patch, but I still wanted to be able to pick flowers. Like most people, I don’t have the space to devote to growing shrubs and perennials solely for picking, so I decided that my small front garden and the back garden at my new home would become a cutting garden. Both patches of garden were pretty much blank canvases, so I designed the planting so that it looked good as a garden and that it would attract lots of wildlife, but I also wanted to include plants I knew would work well when picked and arranged in a vase. The plan was to grow most of the plants in borders with a little patch devoted to annuals and biennials.
With small scale growing like this you need to adjust your expectations as to what constitutes a flower arrangement – I make small posies for jugs and jars rather than bouquet-sized arrangements, and sometimes I might just arrange a handful of stems individually in pretty glass bottles,
