Harvesting Flowers for Longest Vase Life
Event Information
Event description
Learn the ins and outs of harvesting for maximum, long-lasting beauty
About this Event
Every single flower variety has different needs so when it comes to cutting, it can get very confusing. A sunflower harvested just as the petals are lifting off the face is going to last twice as long because the pollinators have not found it yet. But a zinnia cut before the stem stiffens will immediately bend over. We will delve into groups of flowers, breaking down when and how to harvest. Learn how to do a vase test, establish cleaning protocols and the ins and outs of flower food.
