Q: When should I plant my fresh-cut flower garden kit?

A: The best time to plant your fresh-cut flower garden kit will depend on when your last frost is. In West Michigan, it is not usually until the end of May. Many of the varieties in the box do NOT like cold weather or cold soil. This will give your plants the best chance to grow and thrive.

A: Yes, you can plant your fresh-cut flower garden box in a container if you don't have space for a traditional garden.

Q: How much space do I need for the fresh-cut flower garden box?
