Bridget and Henrietta, The Land Gardeners, welcome you to the course, explaining how they first came to grow cut flowers as well as what they will be covering in the course.
Planning a garden is essential if you want to have cut flowers throughout the year. In this lesson, Bridget and Henrietta discuss the benefits of having a sowing and planting plan, and advise how to create a mood board for designing a garden
In this lesson, The Land Gardeners design a 4m × 8m flower bed filled with edging plants, bulbs, perennials, annuals and biennials that will produce cut flowers in all seasons. They also discuss the conditions required to achieve a well-performing cut flower bed.
You can add cutting flowers to an existing garden without having to create a dedicated flower bed. Bridget and Henrietta offer advice on how to ensure a year-round supply of cut flowers.
Areas of long grass, orchards and lawns offer opportunities for planting bulbs, shrubs and trees that can produce blooms and foliage from February to Christmas. The Land Gardeners introduce their tried and tested favourites.
“I have been loving the gardening courses so much…I couldn’t decide which one to get…so bought a subscription for the year. I love how each one has a different design (in terms of type and color) - so they truly feel like different experiences. So happy I signed up!”

“So much insight into a wonderful range of creative, interiors and gardening options. It is really great value. I've most enjoyed learning about paint with Edward Bulmer - and the practical aspects and insights in Rita's courses have also been so useful. ”
