21 Best Cutting Gardens and Flower Farmers on Instagram You Should Be Following
My list of cutting garden growers and flower farmers on Instagram I handpicked to follow for inspiration. I thought I would share these with you and a few notes on what I found of particular interest. From growing tips on blogs, a downloadable British flower chart and interesting information from professional growing flower farmers.
Although I am a home cutting garden grower, with limited space I find the big flower farms now sell seeds and plants. They also grow varieties of flowers not on sale elsewhere but just directly from their shops. With workshops, talks and garden tours, there is a wealth of exciting activity going on with flowers.
With a cup of tea in hand, browsing beautiful flowers and plant pictures it seems the perfect aid to planning and getting ready for growing on the cutting garden this year. I use my cut flowers for the house but mostly for my design work which includes lots of flowers. I love textures, colours and being outside so this is a great project for me in the great outdoors. Whatever scale you are planning to grow these Instagram cutting gardens and flowers farmers will be a huge inspiration.
If I have missed one of your favourite cutting gardens or flower farmers in this list please do let me know and they can be added.
