Plants that grow well in the garden and can be cut for taking inside the home.

 

In this section you'll find a link to a list of flowers that are great for cutting. Ben has grown them year on year and considers all of them to be essential for anyone wanting to grow cut flowers.  However if you don't have the space for a dedicated cutting bed, try growing on the plants to a suitable size and then adding them to an existing border for seasonal or permanent interest.

 

Also there is a link to a collection of floral arrangements to give both interest and inspiration.  Notes and plant lists accompany these images so you can pick and choose what you like.

 

Ben thinks "Having fresh flowers in any room can lift the atmosphere considerably whilst providing scent. They can be a great focal point, a warm welcome or even a thoughtful gift.  Growing, cutting and arranging them yourself just adds to the personal satisfaction"
