While some garden references recommend placing a garden of cutting flowers in a less-than-prominent location, we think this design will look great even after you've gathered a good number of flowers. We've included some of the longest-blooming, heaviest-producing perennials available, as well as some more unusual varieties to lend drama and originality to your floral creations. The proportions indicated are approximate; feel free to change the shape of the bed or number of plants in each group. You could even make a separate raised bed with timbers or retaining blocks to use as your cutting garden. Whichever type of bed you prepare, work in lots of humus and other organic material to maximize the fertility of your soil. You may also want to plant spring bulbs-Tulips and Daffodils-this fall for additional beauty next year. With good soil, lots of sun, and regular watering, this garden will produce an abundance of cutting flowers all summer long.
