A garden for bees and flower lovers alike
The Cutting Garden was created in 2011 where the original Joan Grimsdick Orchard was. Dedicated volunteers maintain this garden through planting, pruning, and bouquet making! Seasonally, bouquets are available for sale in the gift shop to support the Gardens through their proceeds.
Flowers serve many purposes in the garden from supporting pollinators to creating arrangements. Typically, a mix of annuals and perennials grow to offer a spring through fall harvest. Here, the plants are selected for size, shape, texture, colour, scent, and lifespan. Cosmos, Zinnias, Sweet Peas, and Verbenas inhabit this garden with fruit trees accompanying them as an ode to the previous orchard. The continuous cutting promotes regrowth until fall frosts begin.
