In this hands-on class, we move beyond basic gardening to focus specifically on floriculture for the home. You’ll learn how to navigate our semi-arid climate and unpredictable spring frosts to create a garden that produces professional-quality blooms from June through the first hard freeze.
You Will Learn:
The Colorado Star Lineup: Which varieties actually thrive here? We’ll discuss high-performers like Zinnias, Cosmos, and Snapdragons, as well as perennial favorites like Peonies and Yarrow.
Succession Planting for Endless Blooms: Learn the secret to "cut-and-come-again" gardening so you never run out of flowers.
The Art of the Harvest: When is a flower "ready"? We’ll teach you the "marshmallow test" for peonies and the exact stage to cut sunflowers for a 10-day vase life.
