Want to be able to grow, harvest, and enjoy cut flowers from your own garden? Join Nikki of Lady’s Hat Farm on Saturday, May 11 for a one-hour intensive on growing cut flowers at Blue Grass Nursery and Sod Farm, followed by a half-hour tour of the greenhouse. Nikki will go over cut flower basics – how to choose what to grow, garden preparation and spacing, harvesting, and arranging.
