<p>A little about myself- I’ve gardened my entire adult life, always perennial/herbaceous beds and vegetables when my kids were growing up. Four years ago, I saw a YouTube gardener’s cut flower beds and immediately decided I needed to be a cut flower farmer. Two years ago, I retired from the University of Connecticut Extension System as a 4-H Educator and dove headlong into growing my <a href="https://winterbeegarden.com/">flower farm</a>.</p>
<p>Now I get to create my own Planter flower garden plans, and you can too!</p>
<h3 id="flowers-in-planter">Flowers in Planter!</h3>
<p>Today we&rsquo;re adding over 3 dozen new flowers to the app. Until now we&rsquo;ve only had edible flowers (such as Sunflowers) or common companion flowers (such as Marigolds). Now, we&rsquo;re adding flowers with an emphasis on cut-flowers and flowers that are great for pollinators.</p>
<p>Look for more flowers through the upcoming months, and blog posts about flowers, <a href="https://blog.planter.garden/series/herbs/">herb gardens</a>, and especially native and pollinator gardens. I hope you find the flowers that you love to garden with in the plant library. If you don’t see your favorite flower, you can <a href="https://planter.garden/requests">request it in the app</a>, and as always, you can <a href="https://info.planter.garden/plant-information/create-plants/">add your own custom plants</a> to your Planter garden(s).</p>
<p>How exciting to be gardening with you this summer!</p>
