The Cutting Garden is expanded yet again for 2023 plus additional rows are being added in what was formerly The Berry Rows, and more than half the potager will be flowers this year! So exciting, and happy to be part of the “Growing Kindness Project.” After evaluating the 2022 crops, some varieties have been added and some deleted for the coming season. Lots more lisianthus, which I absolutely loved growing, more celosias, more zinnias, more fillers.
