A great garden doesn’t just look good. It can fill your home with beauty, scent, and life - all year round. In this course, top gardeners Henrietta Courtauld and Bridget Elworthy of The Land Gardeners take you behind the scenes of their flower farm in France and London studio, sharing their approach to growing, harvesting, and arranging cut flowers. You’ll learn how to design a cutting garden from scratch, plan for floral abundance, collect and store seeds, and condition flowers so they last longer in the vase. This course will give you the skills, confidence, and knowledge to create breathtaking, homegrown arrangements.

We're so excited to take you through a whole year in the cutting garden, starting in January - what you can be doing moving right through the whole year, so that you can have something to pick year-round. It doesn't need to be daunting. It's actually really simple.

Meet The Land Gardeners
Bridget and Henrietta, The Land Gardeners, welcome you to the course, explaining how they first came to grow cut flowers as well as what they will be covering in the course.
Planning your cut flower garden - Part 1: Influences and inspiration
Planning a garden is essential if you want to have cut flowers throughout the year. In this lesson, Bridget and Henrietta discuss the benefits of having a sowing and planting plan, and advise how to create a mood board for designing a garden
Planning your cut flower garden - Part 2: Designing a dedicated cut flower bed
In this lesson, The Land Gardeners design a 4m × 8m flower bed filled with edging plants, bulbs, perennials, annuals and biennials that will produce cut flowers in all seasons. They also discuss the conditions required to achieve a well-performing cut flower bed.
Planning your cut flower garden - Part 3: Adding cut flowers to existing beds
You can add cutting flowers to an existing garden without having to create a dedicated flower bed. Bridget and Henrietta offer advice on how to ensure a year-round supply of cut flowers.
Planning your cut flower garden - Part 4: Planting into wilder areas
Areas of long grass, orchards and lawns offer opportunities for planting bulbs, shrubs and trees that can produce blooms and foliage from February to Christmas. The Land Gardeners introduce their tried and tested favourites.

I LOVE IT
“I have been loving the gardening courses so much…I couldn’t decide which one to get…so bought a subscription for the year. I love how each one has a different design (in terms of type and color) - so they truly feel like different experiences. So happy I signed up!”
JESSICA, US
It really is great value
“So much insight into a wonderful range of creative, interiors and gardening options. It is really great value. I've most enjoyed learning about paint with Edward Bulmer - and the practical aspects and insights in Rita's courses have also been so useful. ”

Very thorough courses
