Imagine stepping outside and snipping fresh blooms straight from your garden this Summer!

Did you know there are plenty of easy-to-grow flowers—perfect even for beginners?  Here are my top recommendations

Zinnias

My #1 cut flower recommendation is Zinnias! Sow seeds directly after frost danger. You can buy seeds at all the big box stores & local garden centers.
