Have a cutting garden.

Make room for it somewhere, usually off to one side and surrounded by a fence. Here several kinds of flowers can grow in regimented fashion, like rows of vegetables, for abundant cut flowers for indoor and outdoor bouquets. Dahlias, tall, medium and dwarf, can hardly be surpassed for performance. Other easy to grow cut flowers are zinnias, marigolds, calendulas, blue saliva, nicotiana, larkspur, gladiolus, scabiosa, bachelor buttons, china asters and chrysanthemums.
