Making Bouquets for Flower Stand in September, Drying Cut Flowers

Hi! My name is Crane. Welcome to my Suburban home garden in New Jersey Zone 7A. I mainly grow cut flowers, greens, and herbs and make garden bouquets to sell at my roadside stand. I create sanctuary for wildlife, birds, insects, etc. I grow all kinds of vegetables and, sometimes, cook. I grow ornamental landscape plants and trees as well. Thank very much for visiting my channel. Any question, please let me know in the comment. 😊

Good Morning, I found your channel through Danielle. Turns out we are neighbors! I live in the next town. I will be watching the rest of your videos to catch up. Your gardens are beautiful. Best of luck!

[@cranerygardens]

Wow! Thank you for visiting me. I am a long term Danielle’s fan and she’s big part of my journey. 🥰🥰🥰

[@cumberlandonpiano6494]

❤❤❤

[@tammygreene5323]

I really enjoyed the walk about your garden while you tidied and cut stems for your arrangements. I must say I am also not a fan of Fall due to the shorter days and my favorite season summer being so far away.

[@cranerygardens]

Thank you very much 🙏🏻🥰❤️ my least favorite season but I start loving it. 🥰🥰🥰❤️❤️❤️

[@riverunner9978]

Your bouquets are truly gorgeous , thank you beautiful gardens!

[@cranerygardens]

Thank YOU!

[@marymurphy4825]

Hi Crane, Danielle from Northlawn flower farm shared your KZbin site this morning and i just subscribed to your channel. I believe eupatorium coelestinum is the blue perennial that you were cutting. lt looks like annual ageratum. Your bouquets are beautiful thanks for sharing your creativity. 😊

[@cranerygardens]

Thank you so much for coming here and subscribing 🥰 Danielle is so sweet. Thank you for the latin name. I think it is. The shape slightly different to the cut flower variety, more loose but I love them and they just keep coming back every year without doing any work on them. 😊🥰❤️

[@stacynagle5192]

Same thing happened to me! Now I’m hooked! Love how you explain flower arranging ❤❤

[@cranerygardens]

@@stacynagle5192 Awww 🥰 😊🥰❤️

[@robinmcbride1501]

Your flower arrangements are a perfect blend of color and variety and I like the simple jars with canning rings. From now on I will use those jars for Dahlias as the stems are sometimes short. You are a great teacher. Thank you so much. I found out about you from Danielle of Northlawn Flower Farm. Great use of Ageratum too, I have tons of it blooming now here in NC zone 7b. Please show us how it looks dried. I will try it. My drying racks are on the kitchen ceiling. Lets grow something beautiful. PS I found caterpillars eating my Bok Choi yesterday!

[@cranerygardens]

Awww 🥰 Thank you very much 🙏🏻🥰❤️ for watching and your comment. Yes, I will do in my next vlog video. Dry ageratum is awesome! But I’ll also show how they turn out too. 🥰🥰❤️❤️❤️

[@stelladoora8045]

Gorgeous bouquets!

[@cranerygardens]

Thank you very much 🙏🏻🥰❤️

[@angelaschettino1327]

Danielle referred me to you! Continued good luck with your channel!

[@cranerygardens]

[@TinysGarden]

Your arrangements and disposition are so beautiful! Loved hearing you talk about the flower community and selling arrangements...I JUST had my first sale unexpectedly and think I may go for it next year! If you ever want to collaborate on a video, let me know! :) Be well!

[@cranerygardens]

Awww 🥰 Thank you 🥰. Congratulations! And Yes, I’d love to! 😊🥰❤️

[@cuili9253]

You are so lucky to own so many beautiful flowers and plants ❤

[@cranerygardens]

Thank you 🥰 😊🥰❤️

[@melonieroe7310]

Another great video. Crane what is ur day job. Does it compliment your creativity. How about Jason??

[@cranerygardens]

Thank you 🥰 😊🥰❤️ I just have an office job, mostly paperwork and following the rules. 😅😅😅 Jason is a sale person. 🥰🥰🥰

[@dksgardenoasis]

I think they are a type of ageratum (Eupatorium coelestinum) and they are natives for pollinators also called blue mist flowers.

[@cranerygardens]

Thank you 🥰 I think so too. The shape slightly different to the cut flower variety, more loose but I love them and they just keep coming back every year without doing any work on them. 😊🥰❤️

[@richandmoe]

Hi crane. Can you give me any information about the mushroom house. It is the cutest thing I have ever seen.

[@cranerygardens]

Awww 🥰 Thank you 😊 I already plan to make one video about that. Please stay tuned!!! ❤️❤️❤️

[@daiseegray9110]

Wonderful tips! Your bouquets are beautiful 🌼🐝

[@cranerygardens]

Thank you so much 🙏🏻 😊🥰❤️

[@rockysupportsyou3182]

Hi Crane, you made the best bouquets I have ever seen👍 Can I know the size of your mason jars?

[@cranerygardens]

Hi Thank you 😊 It’s the 16oz Pint Ball Jar. 🥰❤️

[@theresadyjach5406]

FEVERFEW IS ALSO AN HERB.

[@cranerygardens]

Yes! Love them so much!

[@ismailduzyol3358]

I love your channel ! What white flower do you suggest for zone 7 ?

[@cranerygardens]

Thank you 🥰 Peony, dahlia, and hydrangea to start! 🤍🤍🤍

[@PurplePetunias71]

Great video. Your flower arrangements are beautiful. Your dinner looked delicious. I couldn't believe all the deer. From a distance, I thought they were dogs in the neighbor's backyard. Are they wild or are they pets? No wonder you have to have a deer fence. :-)

[@cranerygardens]

Thank you 😊 yes, they are semi wild haha. They wander around in the neighborhood. This is our neighbor backyard that they hangout and play every evening. The babies love playing a lot. They warm my heart.

[@teresalungo5218]

where did you get your fruit pickers

[@cranerygardens]

Amazon. 😊🥰❤️

[@LongislandnativeSanctuary]

Why do people strip the leaves and then use a green filler?

[@cranerygardens]

I think they stripe the bottom leaves. They use the tips of the green filler or some nicer looking leaves. 😊

[@laragunther7423]

may i ask what size mason jar you use is

[@cranerygardens]

It’s the 16 oz pint ball jar 😊😊😊

[@Tracymw99]

What do you do with your dried flowers?

[@cranerygardens]

I don't know yet haha. Maybe wreath in winter time or Christmas or give away to my local customers. :)

[@cheesadavila7945]

Hi Crane! I found your channel from Danielle’s video! I’m so glad! I love your flowers and your videos! So beautiful and fun! Thank you so much for sharing!
