HOW IT WORKS
1. We’ll start with a free 15-minute get-to-know-you consult, so I can understand your space, your goals, and what you want to get out of your garden.
2. Next up is the 60-minute session. I’ll walk you through how to start your cut flowers, the best flowers and herbs for your climate, a plan for what to grow and when, sustainable growing methods, the best resources for your growing needs (seeds, tools, etc.), and economical ways to get the most out of your garden by growing cut-and-come-again flowers.
3. You take everything you’ve learned and get started or book additional sessions for seasonal support.

I grow both! But cut flowers are my focus with HT because of the powerful feelings and sense of calm they can evoke.

Cut-and-come-again flowers are easy-to-grow powerhouses that offer continuous blooms throughout the season. You cut - and they come again!
Not only is this a more sustainable growing practice, it’s super cost-effective, too.
Cosmos, zinnias, dahlias, and gomphrena are great examples of cut and come again flowers. -
Yes, we will 100% cover herbs! I love adding them to my cut-flower garden. They are perfect fillers, are super fragrant, and can be used in the kitchen, too.
And yes, we can talk about flowers outside of the cut-and-come-agains. But I love starting with those because of how productive, easy-to-grow, and economical they are. -
Not at the start! Growing cut flowers is one of the easiest ways to begin growing - and also one of the most rewarding. No experience is necessary.

Not at all. Growing cut flowers in a pot actually is a garden (just a small-ish one). In fact, growing in pots or smaller spaces is a great way to start growing and create something special, no matter how much space you have.
