I'm looking to start a cut flower garden after going through a tough breakup. I want to create a beautiful space filled with flowers that I can share with others who truly deserve them. I'm located in Windsor, Ontario, and I'm wondering what steps I should take to get started and what flowers would be best for this type of garden. Any advice would be appreciated!

If you're interested in both perennials and annuals, consider planting Siberian Irises and Dahlias, which adapt well to your zone. For annuals, wildflowers that thrive in your area, like cosmos, are a fantastic and prolific option!
For starting your cut flower garden, I suggest getting 128 cell trays to start seeds like snapdragons, poppies, and statice indoors. You can transplant them outside after your last frost date. Plus, don’t forget to direct sow summer annuals like sunflowers and cosmos for a colorful display!
Zinnias are a great choice! They're super easy to grow, and all you need to do is till up a sunny patch, scatter the seeds, and watch them bloom. They're really vibrant and will bring joy to anyone who receives them!
