Grow a garden filled with flowers.

Even if you've never grown anything before.

Most people assume growing flowers is harder than vegetables. It's not. It just follows different

rules - and once you know them, it's simpler than you think.

You can do everything right and still get very few flowers


With vegetables, effort usually leads to a harvest. With flowers, you need to know which varieties flower freely and which don't - and how to tell the difference before you sow. Once you know this, you stop wasting time on duds.

Everything flowers at once… then the garden goes quiet


Vegetables are often grown and harvested in blocks. Flowers need staggering through the season. There's a simple sowing pattern that keeps flowers coming from spring to autumn (and it's easier than most people think).

Healthy plants don’t mean a long flowering season


With vegetables, healthy plants usually mean good crops. With flowers, timing and cutting technique matter more than plant health. Get those right, and the same plants will flower for months instead of weeks.

Vegetables are often grown and harvested in blocks. Flowers need staggering through the season. Without the right sequence, the garden can feel full one moment and empty the next.

how to start a cut flower garden starting with the seeds to grow

A small garden, a few pots, and cut flowers grown from seed

If you're not a vegetable grower

You don’t need an allotment, raised beds, or years of experience to grow cut flowers. Many people start with pots, small borders, or a few containers and feel unsure where to begin.

The same principles apply - knowing what to sow, when to sow it, and what comes next makes everything simpler and more enjoyable.

Why I teach this

In 2023, I hit rock bottom. At 55, I'd been made redundant after 14 years in corporate HR - and two years earlier, I'd lost my lovely older sister to cancer.

I felt depressed and deeply sad.

I'd sit in my small, leaky greenhouse at the crack of dawn in my dressing gown, bobble hat and hot water bottle, trying to find solace in the bleak mid-winter.

Eventually I started sowing seeds. What began as a desperate distraction became something deeper. It was only after months of tending those tiny seedlings that I realised I was healing. Without even noticing, I was starting to grow alongside the flowers.

That simple act brought clarity, direction and meaning to my life.

Now I teach others the same method - not just to grow flowers that keep coming back, but to find the clarity, purpose and confidence that comes with it.

What people say about the masterclass

"My lightbulb moment!"

I can see now why my garden never kept flowering. I was expecting one plant to do all the work, instead of understanding how flowers replace each other. It’s completely changed how I think about growing flowers.

"Clear and to the point"

The masterclass felt really clear, well thought out and aesthetically pleasing. As a beginner, I found the way Bridget explained things methodically and easy to follow, and the links to specific plant types were especially helpful.

Naomi T

"It gave me the confidence to try"

Knowing what to do and when made such a difference. I don’t have much experience, and being told I didn’t need to know everything and just to have a go, gave me real confidence. I’ve already sown some seeds.
