Cut Flower Garden for Beginners - From Seed to Bouquet

[@earthyandfree]

You deserve more support! You’re doing hard work and you’re very talented!!

[@titansmgr]

One of the first videos i watched when starting out planning my first cut flower garden! Here I am almost 2 years later to say thank you!! My garden is so much more than i ever imagined. I love having bouquets in any room I want and especially giving them to my friends and family.

[@YouCantEatTheGrass]

That's awesome! It's so fun to hear about our videos having an effect on other people's lives

[@flowerfairy1950]

Thanks. I am just someone who wants to grow cut flowers for home. I found this very helpful. Thanks 😊

[@digs_plays]

I am considering starting a cut flower garden on our property. This was very helpful! Although, I wanted to reach through the screen and give your husband a gentle punch in the face at his "only halfway wasting time" comment. Could you imagine what we could accomplish without the hassle of men?! 😆

[@swillenius]

Ok dream job!!! Im wanting to start my own little cut flower garden thank you for the inspiration! 🫶💐

[@tawanacantrell6230]

I just love your energy and great knowledge. Not to mention your fun personality. Such a pleasant to watch🌻

[@xo.sincerelyshine]

This has been the most helpful, looking forward to starting a personal flower garden of my own. Thank you so much, Jesus loves you ❤

[@turtsable]

Gosh this helped so much! I wanna start my own cut flower garden this coming summer and I’m grateful I ran into your channel!

[@AngelAAAAAAAAAAA]

Beautiful video with beautiful FLOWERS🌸🌺🌻🌹🌷🌼💐, THANKS FOR SHARING

[@ienekevanhouten4559]

You are just so good at this organising. Fun to view your older videos and knowing you have gone from strength to strength. Bonus, l like knowing that each click supports you, even though I cannot come to your market stand.

[@YouCantEatTheGrass]

Thanks so much!

[@missinformed4269]

Wonderful, you have vision, talent, ability to work, plan and follow though and on top of that you’re able to present it all very professionally. Outstanding!

[@BramptonGardener]

This was the first video I watched. I was searching for into on cut flowers :D

[@Brandi.Nicole]

Same! Algorithm pushed her up to the top 3! Well deserved - great video!

[@Alicia-ig7cv]

Me too!

[@christiegrows2022]

I can’t get enough of your channel! I’ve planted ranunculus this year for the first time and hoping to build a cut flower garden to add to my produce

[@mystrength2009]

Oh, girl. I loved your video. It was so relaxing to watch you create a bouquet. I so much appreciate your channel. Love it. I hope to destroy my front lawn and create a pollinator garden this spring. You have inspired me. You keep making videos and I keep watching. lol.

[@MelindaDeLoach-j9v]

Great video and Love the kitty’s 😊

[@jessicab4164]

😮❤ Thank you for sharing your beautiful garden, and sage advice!

[@Caper89]

This video was so helpful and made me so excited to start flower gardening! Love the addition of cuteness from the kitties too!

[@JohnSmith-fq7hj]

Wow what a beautiful flower garden I've been doin my vegetables for the last few years and am starting to do flowers this year would definitely love to replicate this.

[@bluetreedog1205]

Hi i live in brittany france hopefully starting out flower farming next year. Your videos are proving a great source of information for a beginer like me. Love your enthusiasm well made fun to watch videos 😘😘

[@YouCantEatTheGrass]

Thanks so much!

[@TSD0416]

Greetings from Toronto, Canada. I had to pause the video @1:35 to make this comment and let your cat know I saw his black tail and I acknowledge his presence. He is so adorable!!!!! Ok now I’ll go back to watch the rest of the video and try to focus hard to learn something from you. By the way I love, love, love your cut flower garden. If I lived in the neighbourhood I’d come over and say hello and buy a bouquet from your farm.

[@sherripalmer4757]

Thank you. I stumbled upon your video of growing cut flowers and loved it. Your direct style and integration of cats won my heart! I am a flower diva and sell hand tied floral bouquets at pop-up style venues. I am a Mom to two cats, Elsa and Bow Tie!

[@BrittonFarmsHomestead]

We are looking to add cut flower to our farm next year to help with pollinators for our vegtables and also add them to our display at the farmers markets. Thanks for all the info I know nothing about flowers but I am collecting info and this was my first stop.

[@dalibofurnell]

Love the pants! Love your channel, went back some years to find this. Merry Christmas to you and yours! 🎄 🎄 🎄

[@petra.m7051]

your flowers and cats are so lovely❤️

[@PlowAndPantryHomestead]

Love this! In your more recent videos I think I've seen you wrap them in brown paper? I'd love to see how you do that and still keep them in water. Have you ever thought about doing an online course for aspiring flower farmers? Might be good income during the winter months.

[@horasan50]

I love your farm and garden 👏🏡🙋🏻‍🏡🙋🏻‍🏡 my dream garden 👏 I wish I had one too.

[@azonie7767]

I love your flower farm and thank you for making this video. After picking what can I do to make sure that I don't have bugs in it. TIA

[@paulajames6149]

I am a florist and I am beginning to grow cut flowers.

[@BeckaMarieDill]

Just stumbled upon your videos and love your vibe! Looking forward to watching all your videos!

[@Plantmomofthesouth]

I love this, thank you for sharing! I can’t wait to see my flowers bloom to make my own flower bouquets!

So beautiful flowers, 🙂💐

[@meowtsu6048]

your flowers are my favorites ❤️

[@paulettefoster3157]

The comments from the husband about wasting time because only half the bouquets sell was clearly hurtful. Passive aggressive that seems to stem from a previous, private conversation. Keep that private. This is an older video and hopefully he doesn't do this often.

[@kimberlynicely333]

Came for the same reason. It was an unnecessary comment and clearly hurtful. Shame on him. And kudos to her for working so hard! She's doing fantastic.

[@00zarzu00]

thanks for the caring comment. and i noticed they named the cat fatty…. or at least he called the black cat fatty. seems like a pattern…

[@jainedoe4929]

And maybe thats a reason shes making a video... advertise advertise advertiseeeee

[@anairizarry5280]

You can tell it hurt her men always say hurtful things just to say it so sad 😢

[@NN-fz4pd]

Men like hurting women’s feelings on purpose. They know women are sensitive and they like making them cry. At least insecure men do. It makes them feel strong making someone else feel weak and small.

[@sianwright6812]

really enjoyed your video, got lots of info many thanks

[@shwetaholkar4346]

Hi 😊 I love your flowers farm so much ❤️ lots of 💕

[@beingmessymoomi5571]

Very good information 🎋🎍thank you so much for this informative video

[@YouCantEatTheGrass]

glad you enjoyed it

[@Idontknowy2]

Cool pants 👖

[@rnguyen2516]

Hi Serina, thank you so much for all of the practical information and advice! What were the purple spikes you used in the first arrangement? What state or zone are you in? I really appreciate that you looked for drought tolerant flowers. I live in zone 8B and we have long summers without rain.

[@YouCantEatTheGrass]

We live in Kelowna, Bc, Canada. It's zone 5. The purple spikes are liatris

[@courtneyp5963]

If you don’t mind sharing this info - what percentage of your bouquets do you normally sell each week?

[@lilangel2070]

You can hear the man in the video say “instead of wasting half your time Bc you only sell half of them “

[@Succeedlikeyoubreathe]

Pinching it is called “super cropping”. It’s used in the cannabis industry also to increased more colas instead of one huge cola

[@windellfreeman3542]

lol definitely was thinking did she just top her plants

[@jebrassecretgardenanddlys1650]

So beautiful!

[@melaniewilliams6499]

You could slso harvest the amaranth for grain! Or collect the seeds for your next year garden

[@kevinoakes1287]

Soo nice..

[@PsycInColour]

I blame this video for me spending £20 on seeds in 5 minutes of watching it 😆 my husband is not happy about the new flower bed he has to build on top of the 5 he already has on his list of things to do Absolutely gorgeous bouquet 💐 thanks so much 💐💐💐

[@blujen1642]

Great Advice!!! There is not ever enough Cat in Bouquets 😂 ❤

[@Courtz843]

I love your garden! Your husband made me so sad in this. If there are unsold Bouquets you could give them to a nursing home maybe?

[@henhouseblossoms]

Do you have any videos on maintenance early in the season. I feel like there are lots of how to start and how to harvest tutorials, but not a lot of month to month maintenance. what do you do along the way to promote the maximum amount of growth. I am assuming keep cutting blooms?

[@thelazynortherngardener7607]

Thanks so much!

[@markberardo1438]

What does your delivery/setup look like when you go to the market? I guess you have a trailer and somehow strap everything down? Do you bring extra water? I’m interested to know more and that would make a great video, like this one is!

[@YouCantEatTheGrass]

If you check out some of our recent summer videos, Ian usually shows packing up. Flowers in the backseat of the truck, veg in bins in the back

[@saragamayunov4542]

Hi! I noticed you plant your cut fabric garden right in the dirt without any fabric. How do you prevent weeds from drowning them out? Do you have any weeds? One area of my cut flower garden has no fabric and flowers couldn't grow through the weeds.

[@dearmedearyou8548]

THE CAT!!

[@melindarobb4529]

Seminar, You've gotten better arranging flowers and color combinations. Who do you follow online for inspiration?

[@ruthinater4322]

Ummm ur wearing a fanny pack!!! I have like 5 of them!!! I already love u!! 😂 My friend and I were looking to sell cut flowers at farmers markets this year. So thanks for the helpful tips!!

[@beverlymcdonald6301]

We actually did floral bouquets for the first time last year. My problem was the zinnias would fall sometimes at the bottom of the flower. Any suggestions?

[@lauras5312]

watch the video again. she went over that very thing. 😊

[@skylarw.visnack2764]

Someone needs to talk to the husband about having some better manners and being kinder to you 😬

[@NN-fz4pd]

He’s trash and she should leave him.

[@MachingaSpiritTree]

Ian is very loving and supportive of Serena, he seems like a great husband and father

[@savannahjohnson1367]

How do you prevent critters from getting at the seeds when they're small?

[@simplyred9980]

What if my ground is really dry? I don’t see where you put mulch or potting soil? Did I miss something? Did you just take the seedlings straight to ground?

[@alissaweeks2115]

Is there an updated video like this now that you’re 4 years in?

[@alissaweeks2115]

Just went to your channel. Disregard my previous comment. I’m so impressed. You’re doing amazing. Hope to be this lucky with my cut flower journey. Last year was my first year and it was so small I got just 2 bouquets. Hope this year will be better. Thanks for sharing.

[@nolagirl7082]

Anyone know how I can sharpen my gardeners tools? I have two different tools I use for cutting that I bought last year, but they are pretty dull and I want to sharpen them up for the season

[@YouCantEatTheGrass]

I've bought a hand filing stone to sharpen blades before. A good clean and oiling helps for me too

[@melaniewilliams6499]

Thornless blackberry

[@veenaputhanpurayil404]

Thank you for your videos and doing such beautiful work! Also mans comment was rude af~ passive aggressive much?

[@ggkiiara4074]

How do you prevent mites and other damaging pests from ravaging your plants? I don’t want to spray anything (organic or not) due to the fear of hurting my pollinator friends

[@YouCantEatTheGrass]

We have bugs. I don't mind some blemishes on organic plants, it's natural

[@ggkiiara4074]

No you don’t understand, spudermites has killed a few of my plants already.

[@nicomyth]

You can use Neem oil but you would want to cut off all the flowers to prevent them from being visited by bees. For bad infestations often it is best to simply destroy the plant and replant something in its place. I usually have trouble with mites in my potted plants, rarely in the garden. If you are working with pots get rid of the plant and soil then clean your pot thoroughly before repotting. Good Luck!

[@sarah3796]

@@nicomyth 😓 all my balcony flowers died from mites and aphids.

[@ReneeEverhart]

What is the green filler flower called? Sorry, i looked through many of the comments to find out and didn’t see it

[@tashaking8907]

I think it is basil

I wish I could pick my flowers. If I do then my garden doesn’t look so pretty

What zone are you I ? Thank you

[@annabeans0311]

What was the comment at 17:18? You only waste half your time bc you only sell half the bouquets? Whoever made that comment is a jerk.

They were a gift years ago, so no help sorry

[@redstone5149]

Great way to start a video by crapping on your husband. What do you contribute to the relationship besides growing flowers?

[@memethomas5402]

Why dont you sell flowers by the stem and let customers make their own boutiques. Less work for you.

[@Brandi.Nicole]

Good idea, I o serve markets and tbh I see a lot more impulsive grabs $15 and under on a small shelf. But - for people like us we love it!! Our local grocery store charges $1 a stem! Whoa! Can you imagine what our profit would be?! 🤣

[@lilangel2070]

Your husband shouldn’t talk in your next video if he doesn’t have anything nice to say I hope that wasn’t your husband

[@Mizfashionablylate]

Get rid of him 😢
