Cutting Garden

Our Cutting Garden is a production style garden for cut flowers that are used in our Build Your Own Bouquet weekly event, workshops, and weddings. This space was set up as a demonstration of intensification of floriculture and how one can mobilize resources to grow many many flowers in a very small space extremely efficiently.
