Cutting Garden Kit

Description

Bring the cut flower garden of your dreams to life!  

The Cutting Garden Kit includes a mix of healthy, transplant-ready seedlings of our favorite flower varieties for cutting and arranging.

Cutting Garden Kit Sizes

The Cutting Garden Kit is available in two sizes: a half-tray option and a full-tray option:

Half-Tray

• 24 plants total (3 plants each of 8 different varieties)
• Covers about 10-12 square feet of planting space
• A mix of flower shapes and foliage

Flower Varieties

Our kits include primarily “cut and come again” annual flowers, which will flower continuously from about mid July through September if they are kept well-tended.  Some plants included may be perennials, or may be useful as herbs or medicinally as well.

Kits will likely include some subset of the following flower and foliage plants that we grow on our farm:

Amaranth
Ammobium
Basil
Celosia
Cosmos
Delphinium
Didiscus
Eucalyptus
Feverfew
Flowering Marjoram
Flowering Oregano
Lisianthus
Ornamental Grasses
Phlox
Rudbeckia
Sage
Sedum
Scabiosa
Scented Geranium
Snapdragons
Statice
Strawflower
Zinnias

Trays may contain different mixes of plants from each other, even in the same color scheme.  Trays will be a mix of our healthiest, happiest seedlings in each color scheme.  We cannot accommodate requests for specific flower varieties in these kits.  The flowers in the color scheme sample images on this page may not exactly represent the plants in your tray.

Growing Information

Your Cutting Garden will be happiest planted in a location that gets at least 6 hours of full sun a day.  Most plants will do well planted 9” apart from each other, though some (like lisianthus) can be planted much closer together, and some (like eucalyptus and amaranth) will be happiest planted a little farther apart.  

We will provide a planting primer with your kit with more specific growing information about the flower varieties included.

Pickup Information

Cutting Garden Kits will be available for pickup the first or second week of May (in time for Mother’s Day!), and you should plan to transplant them into your garden soon after bringing them home.  

We plan to have other seedlings for sale at pickup time as well, including single plant varieties, perennials, and 6-packs of cutting annuals.  While we might have extra trays available to buy later, we definitely recommend guaranteeing a Cutting Garden Kit for yourself by ordering online before March 1.  

Pickup will be available at our home farm in Accord, NY, or at the Hastings-on-Hudson farmer’s market.  Please select “local pickup” as your shipping option when you check out, and write in the “Notes” box whether you would like to pick up in Accord or in Hastings-on-Hudson.

Unfortunately, we are not able to ship Cutting Garden Kits at this time, though perhaps next year that will be possible!
