Cut Flower Garden Design // How to Design a Four-Season Cutting Garden in the Landscape

[@deniseb2571]

Danielle, this is a Masterclass. You are so talented and thank you for sharing your expertise. 🌷

[@susanhorn3910]

I agree, wholeheartedly! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@abigailvomelmo1167]

I, Secondly; AGREE Wholeheartedly 🌷🌷🌷💕💕😊😊😊👍👍👍!!!

[@Frenchcountryfriends]

Agree, can’t wait to get started!

[@marthamcauliffe]

Absolutely agree! My goodness she is amazing!

[@floweringevergreen3584]

I'm watching for a second time and taking notes!!

[@melissaschloneger9902]

Holy crap girl - you should make a book. This video is so dense with information. I am wanting to watch it at least a couple more times and take notes. Seriously consider writing a book on this exact topic as I am sure many other home gardeners also desire having a garden that will provide cut flowers and also be something they would like to be outside to enjoy as well. Seriously. Your brain has so much knowledge in this area.

[@kathleenjacobs9815]

This is brilliant! I don’t grow flowers to sell, but have struggled with cutting for the house while maintaining the garden look outside for me and my neighbors. SO helpful! One of the best videos I’ve ever seen. This will be watched multiple times! And I’m a 40 year gardener,still learning. Thank you!

[@carleanr4051]

Indeed! I’ll be referring to this video MULTIPLE times😀

[@valeriestewart467]

Was watching your video on my TV but had to jump on my computer to leave this comment--Thank you for putting this content together and posting it now! You knew exactly what I needed right as I’m getting overwhelmed with seeds and planning. So appreciative for all that I have learned from you. I’m also very glad you share your evolution in thinking and planning. Things that work or don’t. Helps me to not give up. I will never sell flowers but want a cut flower garden for friends & family. Plus I need a planned landscape. Can’t say enough here how much I enjoyed/value this video. If I saw you I’d hug you right now!😊

[@pamnapier-uhl1362]

This was amazing. I will rewatch many times. I hope you go further with this type of educational content. I would love to hear concepts on highlighting vistas or deciding where to place an entrance. Also, how do you decide how many of each to grow? Sometimes we think 100 will be great and it’s too little or suddenly there is no room. Thank you again! This got me excited. 🌺 💐 🌸

[@josweatt898]

I took notes!

[@TheGardeningMe]

This was such a great video, Danielle, even for those of us that aren't cut flower farmers and only want a few bouquets here and there for the house. Thank you!! ❤️

[@thedreamingbun5998]

You have a fairytale garden! So many gorgeous flowers!

[@timi3630]

21:42 I'm going to remember this.. thank you!

[@kmagslove3983]

I've been growing my cut flowers in a landscape style for years and years. As years have gone by, I've had to switch locations up a bit, as trees mature, but that is part of the fun! That is what drew me to your channel to begin with. Your fabulous integration all your blooms into your yard/landscape.

[@lastdayscalm]

A glimpse of paradise...thanks ......

[@MicheleLHarvey]

Brilliant! Invaluable advice for any kind of flower grower! Thanks Danielle. Lots to think on here for beginners as well as old hands! I have some of my own reviewing to do I now see. Love the idea of perennials in the center of the border & annuals in the front for ease of cutting. And choice of flowers based on seasonal bouquets is fabulous! AND the crossed staking!!! ☺

[@jeantuthill4977]

I will be watching this video many times! Trying to get my garden organized. Always a challenge. Thank you for sharing your vast knowledge and for helping other gardeners get it right! 😀

[@thomasonmike7170]

Hi pretty lady. How are you doing today? And how is the family and the weather over there?

[@BigDemocracyEnergy]

Danielle, the effort that you put into this video is nothing short of impressive. I can see how you thought this out and how you tried to think about how you could use your mistakes in the past to help others. Your examples were clear and there was so much insight -things people would not have thought of… I’m not growing a cut flower garden but I’m just so interested in all of your ideas and how your concepts come together… I always enjoy these videos and this was a true master class… I wish you would consider starting a Patreon because I think you would have a lot of people supporting you… I know that may not be the route you want to go and you have other sources of income I’m sure but you really do teach a lot… And that’s worth a lot to a lot of people. Just something to consider. I can’t tell you how much I’ve been inspired by your gardens and how many different things I have tried because of you suggesting to try them… And my favorite Dahlia of all which is diva came from your videos and suggestion. I really look forward to your videos and learning new things along the way… The whole Cool flowers thing was super awesome and I have some Larkspur and Nigella out there right now that are overwintering as baby plants. It’s my first time trying the cool flowers but I got the book you suggested and I’m so excited to see them get a jumpstart in the spring. I’m also in love with Dara because of you and I never would’ve thought about that as something to grow. I could go on forever here but my point is that you have the heart of a teacher… And I want to tell you how much I appreciate it. ♥️

[@janetmorgan8413]

This class was tremendously informative, Danielle. I feel I’ve gained a much better idea of how I can structure my garden, amongst many other things. Thank you for all the time and effort you put into it. I’m certain I’ll be watching it over and over again!

[@jcking6785]

Oh my word! Where do I begin?! You have provided so much valuable and timely information in this video, Danielle. I think you should seriously consider writing a book. With your easy style, vast knowledge and lovely garden as an example, I’m sure it would be a hit. I have been dreaming for years of transforming some of my front yard into more garden space and just didn’t have a clue where to start. I just knew I wanted more color and texture. I’m retired now and have the time but not as much energy or strength as I used to so your advise to put evergreens and shrubs in place first makes so much sense; those can add the color and texture I’m looking for practically as soon as they are planted. Case in point: all your lovely hydrangeas! Thank you for all the invaluable information you share. 💚

[@LisaBrady]

Absolutely the Book would definitely sell I would love to read that Book, so much info in all of Daniel’s Videos ! I think it would be a well worn Book for reference! Imagine the Photos of seasonal Bouquets The Knowledge on Seed Starting , Bulbs , Landscaping, Succession Planting , Structure The Knowledge is endless !

[@maryschlotter108]

Thank you so much this was wonderful! I started growing my own florals in my landscape at the beginning of the pandemic. As a floral designer I watched as our access to flowers dwindled. I immediately started ordering seeds and tubers etc. and like you said it was difficult to see my gardens become rows for cutting. Yet I knew people would need flowers. Now in 2023 as I sit here planning I am trying to make the return back to my pretty gardens while still being able to cut from them. This video was so helpful . I I can’t thank you enough for taking the time to make this extremely helpful class.

[@GardeningOnTaylorMountain]

Wow! This class is so incredibly comprehensive! So much work and prep went into this for us, thank you!!!🌸💕

[@annharlan8926]

Thank you so much. I have been watching your videos. This one has been the most helpful. I'm 66 and need to retire soon but I know I will need a second job (to pay my bills) and I love gardening so I thought growing cut flowers would be great. I've been watching Georgie at Common Farm Flowers and Charles Dowding and Monte Don and many gardening shows. But this has been the most helpful. You give concrete advice. I'm in 8a Charlotte (NC) , so the flowers I'll grow are more like what you are growing, and I want to spend a year growing flowers while I continue working. I need to be able to rely on the flowers and want to make sure before I dive in head first. (I've grown veggies most of my life.) Big huge thank you.

[@gardenfairygodmother1893]

Such good advice. Your garden and arrangements are stunning.

[@kathywinstead7460]

Succession planting is the key for sure! You are such a wealth of knowledge, Danielle! Thank you for sharing with us.

[@thomasonmike7170]

Hi pretty lady. How are you doing today? And how is the family and the weather over there?

[@princessLailasmom]

Please write a book. This was so much good information and your thought process was enlightening.

[@PharMamaUSA]

Danielle, this was timed perfectly! Craving color and flowers right about now. This was inspirational and you are so gifted with info around this topic. Thank you for sharing your gift with us all. Btw, loving my first year of amaryllis growing. Everyone is getting amaryllis for Christmas gifts next year 😂

[@akerudawn]

I hope this video gets you to 100k subscribers. 🍀🍀🍀

[@LisaBrady]

I’m English and I use your channel for inspiration . I only have a Balcony so it gets a bit Windy as it’s Coastal ,I have had my Garden completely wiped out in one storm and it’s Heartbreaking, so your advice on Staking is truly invaluable thank you so much for all of your Knowledge, you really are a Gem . You are my Monty !

[@KateEdel]

Such a wealth of information. I’ll definitely be watching this video multiple times to use as a guide for renovating and furtther developing and my own garden. Thank you, thank you!

[@anapaulacrawford5837]

Best video on explaining all about flowers , timing and location I ever saw . Thank you for what you do .

[@johnsantangelo7773]

not a cut flower grower but loved the video, so much practical information, thanks so much

[@grisespino5342]

Love your cutting family garden Danielle. Honores your beloved Grandmother and produces beautiful bouquets. So many helpful tips.

[@lilypad342]

I’m just kind of binge watching your channel tonight and the flower arrangements… OH MY Word!! I took a screenshot of the beautiful beautiful Winter arrangement that was more pink with some purple and dark green foliage and I wish I could share it here but it was so lovely!! It was one of those longer pieces and it was just gorgeous!

[@vickywood8354]

I’m watching this 10 months after this was posted. Thank you for sharing not only your knowledge but also your experience. I know I will be watching this many times before spring of 2024. 💐

[@mmladyg]

Extraordinary. The amount of time and effort to articulate the garden you have created must be acknowledged! This presentation has enormous value, making cut flower growing accessible and entirely attainable without adding rows upon rows of flowers-- which I also love, by the way. :-) It is brilliantly demonstrated at Northlawn, so well presented and, I think, revolutionary for many who share your desire and purpose. We have a 60'x 15' area on the north side of our house, broken into three border chunks, along with a narrow span of grass. It is, as of today, officially christened: Northlawn Border--for identification on our 1.25 acres, and in honor of its continued becoming under your tutelage. I hope you won't mind. Once again, I wish for you every good thing and many returns on the beauty you are offering through your gifts and hard work. The happiest of new years to you and yours. Gwen S 👏

[@interesante80]

Danielle is such a pleasure to watch. Great designer, wonderful educator, and fantastic gardner. Love the hummingbird and butterflies in the background as you teach us. 🌿💚🌿

[@reneeclover2607]

This is PHENOMENAL!!! I keep rewinding to take notes. Well done, Danielle!

[@anniefrankenstein1989]

I started about 10 years ago working on my friend's anchor and a half vegetable farm for a few seasons, moved on to traveling work exchange on homesteads, then on to better money for the effort with perennial gardening over the then onto better money for the effort with perennial gardening .. I'm in my third season of that and still have so much to learn and I'm in my second season of a cut flour Garden of my own, next year I will begin to create my forever Garden with perennials for the cut flower garden as well. I am so excited and I really appreciate having this channel to help me consider how to go about things ! Ty,🌻🌾

[@pcnews4858]

I don't grow flowers to sell but I love my garden. Now I'm so inspired just to grow some different plants for bringing floral displays into my home. You are so clever and lovely too.

[@Blake.Cooper]

Had to google "devil's strip"! Learn something new from you every time!

[@nocurefordumb]

I am so glad this video came into my feed. We have a fair amount of land but most of it is rented to the farmer next door. And I've been so reluctant to start long rectangular flower beds in our garden. You have given me the confidence and great advice on how to incorporate growing flowers in the existing garden beds.

[@anaharp4505]

Danielle, this a perfect topic for a book!!!!!

[@beckyscheller9358]

Will need to watch again with pen and paper. Lots of information packed in this. Great video

[@amyjones2490]

A very enjoyable class and a needed garden experience as winter is really long and cold.

[@debracasne1845]

This is wonderful, Danielle! Thank you so much. Something you might think about is part 2, where you focus on vista and entry points. Thanks again!

[@holly_kay5570]

Wow, that was wonderful time spent with you! I learned so much that I'd thought about before, but never took the time to really consider. You're garden is inviting and gorgeous, and you are a great teacher. I'll be watching a lot more from you, Danielle!

[@marthabradley1266]

Ditto!!!

[@hylandgundy2698]

Thanks for all the information. On a dreary Michigan snow covered morning, your video was a grand treat.

[@carolynspeedoftruth8093]

I saved this video to rewatch again and again. You are so generous to share your knowledge! I appreciate all your videos but especially this one. Thank you.

[@denisemiller9610]

Loved this information! You stated that you could speak for hours on this subject, I could listen to you for hours about your garden, so beautiful. Thank you.

[@heathertrent3881]

This is such a master class! I don’t grow flowers to sell, but these tips are great for developing a new space! I want multiple seasons of color! Awesome!

[@Laurablushing]

Great video!! Thank you for sharing!!!!! You are so knowledgeable and easy to listen to. Have a great weekend!

[@adalineblythe9653]

Absolutely LOVE this video! This is the kind of video I have been WISHING I’d find. I want to grow flowers to cut but I didn’t want it too look like a flower farm. I wanted it to still be beautiful for family and friends to enjoy. I want to make an area to do tea parties for my nieces. I want to pass on the love of flowers like your grandma did for you! 🤍🤍🤍

[@sangeetaaich01]

I started flower farming two years back,I always find your video so so valuable and always on spot topic.Thank you so much for doing this Danielle.

[@tinastexasgarden]

Great video. Good for you. I know your dad would be so so proud of you and the man you have become. I’m glad I found you in just the right time. Just getting my new Texas garden going and looks like y’all are a great resource. So proud of you doing what your heart tells you to do.

[@nicolechew1029]

Danielle I'm blown away! I've used so many of your tips on cut flowers in the landscape, as you're the one who first showed me it was possible! The X support in the front of plants... How have I not thought of that?? Genius!!! I always have to stake one floppy hydrangea that I have, and I can't wait to try that technique. As always, you are such a wonderful teacher. I'll be rewatching this for sure!

[@connielynn7236]

Danielle, as always your are so generous with your knowledge for growing flowers! I’m a first year flower farmer and have traditional rows of flowers for production, but I crave the gardens you have created in your beautiful landscape. I will definitely be implementing this concept in my landscape starting this year😊

[@tootegozy4998]

I'm always amazed by the willingness of masters to share their knowledge freely with the world. Thank you so much for this lesson, and also for sharing your beautiful arrangements. ❤

[@TrueTruthin66books]

Danielle, you always give me joy! I love your outlook, on life. You definitely are blooming where you are planted. Bless you!!! 💐

[@HarmonyHillsHomeandGarden]

This is such a wonderful video! Truly inspiring. Thanks so much!

[@joycedagostino8869]

Thank you so much! It's clear that you spent time during the growing season preparing this video and information to share with us and it's so appreciated! I probably will watch it a couple of times not only for the enjoyment but to hear the information again.

[@sandigomez6773]

Thank you, Danielle. This is such a great video. Very informative and and so well thought out in terms the practical application of the steps. This is definitely something that I have wanted to implement, but really didn’t know how to go about it. I’ve only been gardening for about 4 to 5 years, but I am in a new space this season so I am excited to create a beautiful landscape with the option for a cut flower bouquets on a regular basis. I am not a cut flower seller, but if I can produce enough for multiple bouquets, it would give me so much joy to be able to give those away to friends and neighbors.

[@j.peluso2139]

I just start watching. From PA too. This is great. Very helpful. I think your a genius.

[@melaniecarroll5755]

I just can’t thank you enough, I’m starting a small backyard cut flower business. And your videos have been my model. I’ve gained so much inspiration and practical advice by watching your channel. I don’t think I would have realized on my own that you can have both landscape and cut flower production with out seeing it before my eyes. Thank you so much for the time and though you put into each video. I’m so grateful.

[@Gloriusblooms]

This is a wonderful class! I’m in the process of designing my garden and I feel so overwhelmed! This is very helpful 🙂 thank you for sharing

[@lisaalluvial5945]

I am SO inspired! I am living in a similar climate, 6A (eastern panhandle WV) and I am now in my 3rd year, second growing season on a 3 acre property. So much potential, and also so much work and patience required. Between overhauling a decades long neglected landscape, to trial and error with plant placement. I really love all of your videos for ideas of what to plant but most of all, how to grow gorgeous bouquets for market in a landscape. How genius! Thank you so much for sharing your process.

[@julied.3314]

You had me at 4 sentences in!!! I want to start a flower farm but I want it to look more natural like a English garden and to enjoy it right next to my home VS the field on the opposite side of the driveway!!! THANK YOU!!

[@amberlovell4863]

This was sooooo helpful! We are doing a landscaping backyard makeover this year and this is giving me some direction to organize and plan. ❤

[@dkjolie]

Also, you're floral arrangements were stunning! Please do some videos where you break down the individual flowers, how and where they are grown, perennial, annual etc.,

[@cindybrandner3063]

I'm adding this video to my saved list- I learned so much about layout here, something I've been searching for but didn't find until this morning.

[@katiewright4075]

Danielle, you’re such an inspiration ! I’m from northeast Pa and I just started turning my property into my own garden about 2 years ago and I’m so happy I found your channel! You have the best tips.

[@richbishop7896]

I'm just a home gardener but love your inspiration and useful information.

[@alexandraemanuel2968]

Danielle we are so lucky to have you thank you so much for sharing. God bless you. This class is perfect.

[@melissacarreira461]

Outstanding video! I love the ‘X’ staking you did with the salvia- absolutely brilliant🥰 Thank you, Danielle!✌🏽🌈🌼

[@DawnRegan]

I just found you while searching how to set up my cut flower garden. Man am I glad I found you! So much wonderful information, and for free. I feel like I need to pay you after getting all of this invaluable information. Your garden is a dream!! I would give anything to have you come here and design mine, but this sure does help get me started. Now I need to go binge all of your videos! :)

[@varettahamlin7656]

Awesome, I'm starting a flower farm and had a great teacher, Lisa Zeigler of Gardener's Workshop, but in the back of my mind, I've wanted to create flowers in the landscape and pathways. Thank you ,thank you!!! I will take the steps you have talked about and move slow as I'm in the beginner's flower farm stage with some Master Gardening skills. That to me means, learn, learn, learn! I'll keep watching you!!!😉😊 Thank you

[@natalie_tn]

Danielle I have watched this video 3 times. You did an excellent job building the concepts for designing a landscape cut flower garden. At this point of my life (59 years old) I don't think I'll be growing to sell but growing more cut flowers for our home and to share with friends and family would be ideal. Thank you for sharing your wisdom gained through experience.

[@pauldwilson4831]

Very informative. Thank you! Really enjoy your videos.

[@judymckerrow6720]

Oh I adore your plant stand!!! ❄️💚🙃

[@claire_weber]

I love your philosophy on gardening and landscaping. You have beautiful gardens. Thank you for sharing.

[@kiranbirkaur2770]

It was the best informative class about creating a garden one could ever get.well done Danielle.i am a huge fan.

[@colletteringie1142]

This is the right video at the right time. I am planning this year to install a large border as a cut garden vs rows, inspired by your videos. Will be rewatching this video while waiting for your workshop (hint), Thanks from Zone 6b CT.

[@RG-nv8nc]

Awesome video, Danielle! Love the X support idea for flopping plants! Jealous of your lush garden in Jan though. 😜

[@caseycampbell8508]

It’s because of your landscape-style cut garden that I subscribed to your channel a few years back . Thank you for all your work in preparing these videos, willingness to share your knowledge and experience, and the hard work in the garden itself.

[@kittyvine823]

I love your guidance and I follow your teachings. I can't think you enough Danielle.

[@andrewmiadavila6342]

Thank you for taking the time to share your passion with the masses. I've learned and been inspired. So thank you.

[@Simplyfarmhouse7]

I love this! This is my desire for a backyard! Will watch this over and over!

[@leidycasadiego3535]

Also I wanted to say I'm starting plants from seed this year thanks to you. You inspired me to grow flowers I even didn't know existed!

[@sarahlovesdonuts9601]

Danielle, this was beautiful! I’ve really leaned on your philosophies the last couple of years. Let’s hope for a spectacular designing and growing season!🌸

[@phatcher25]

I have been followed your journey for a few years. In ‘21, I caught my foot on some weed cloth in the garden and broke 3 ribs. I did not garden at all in ‘22. 😢 I am more than ready to get back at it this year. I totally enjoyed your organized and prioritized thoughts on landscape cut flowers. Thank you!

[@chrismarchetti-olson6632]

Danielle I could listen to you for hours! You are so incredibly talented not only in what you do but in the way you teach. thank you ❤

[@gardeningbyheart4912]

Danielle, you should write a book. I would definitely buy it. Beautiful garden. I enjoy your videos so much.

[@SG-pt5jh]

I really hope you're currently or are considering writing a book on this subject. You have mastered growing cut flowers in the landscape. It's something I've never seen before. Your garden is both beautiful and productive! It amazes me!

[@bethlynch1909]

Even for someone who doesn't grow for cut flowers these are wonderful plans for a garden explained in an understandable way. Your garden is always beautiful. Thank you for sharing.

[@greenysgarden4581]

What a wonderful video! I don't grow to sell, but I do grow for my own pleasure. My dahlias are taking over my food production areas, I currently have 92 dahlia plants, just starting to bloom in the last week or so (Australia). I have learnt so much watching this video, I will watch again. I need to plant more!

[@bethwray787]

What a fantastic and helpful cut flower garden class...I learned so much. Thank you, Danielle 🏵🌻🌼

[@madelinerivera7445]

[@tracytracyWM]

Brilliant! This is a very helpful video for me right now. Thank you!

[@barbaralamoreaux328]

Excellent tutorial! Thanks for making this class, Danielle. I dream of mingling cut flowers in with the rest of the garden, even though I’m not selling them. Your floral designs are stunning. I’m going to look to see if you have any videos just about making those gorgeous arrangements. 🌺

[@karensicard7304]

Your cut flower garden is my favourite. It is beautiful!

[@kathymiller9916]

It's late and I'll need to finish watching this tomorrow... but I just wanted to say how gorgeous your garden is ... such a joy to see what you've created there. It's like walking into a magical space (love the soft color palette)! Also... beautiful flower arrangements and still photography.

[@helendempster1580]

That was excellent! So informative and useful. If KZbin let me give multiple thumbs-up, I would. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge.

[@juliesummerfield9784]

I would love a sketch layout or diagram version of certain areas that are the most productive for you to help understand from another angle how you interplant and the succession planting areas would be so helpful.
