For years, I thought growing flowers and having flowers were the same thing.

They're not.

Many gardeners have beautiful blooms in the landscape for a few weeks every year.

But when it comes time to make an arrangement, they find themselves cutting three zinnias, two cosmos, and one sunflower, then wondering where the rest of the bouquet is supposed to come from.

The problem isn't that they're bad gardeners.

The problem is that most flower gardens were never designed for production.

They're designed for display.

This Saturday's Backyard Flower Farm class is all about growing flowers differently.

We'll discuss:

• How to choose flowers that produce heavily
• How to plan for flowers in spring, summer, and fall
• How to use succession planting to keep blooms coming
• How flower farmers get armloads of flowers from relatively small spaces
• How to harvest and handle flowers so they last longer indoors

This class is included with Enrollment.

If you've been thinking about joining the school, this is a great week to do it.
