Hey, Texas Gardeners! Today, we're diving into how to start and improve your cut flower garden. I'll be explaining why a cut flower garden is different from a traditional flower garden and how to lay it out with intention.

We'll also cover selecting the right plant varieties for our seasons here in Texas, like snapdragons, cosmos, and zinnias, and I'll share tips on indoor seed starting and advanced techniques like succession planting to extend your harvest.

Plus, I'll give you a heads-up on our upcoming class enrollments and the exciting launch of our 2026 planner with special early bird gifts.

By the end of this episode, you'll have actionable steps to get started on growing beautiful cut flowers. Let's get growing!
