Indoor Flower Power
By Dale MacDonald
Here's how to grow your own cut-flower garden
The cut-your-own bouquet garden at Gwynne's Greenhouse in Lyons, Colo., is so sensational you can't help but wonder how in the world she
does it. Dahlias look good enough to
eat. Zinnias thrive in so many colors and
sizes it doesn’t seem possible. Sunflowers and
coneflowers and salvias simply glow. If there are flower gods, they live here.
"Good cutting gardens have a lot of variety,"
says Gwynne Owen, the greenhouse's
owner. "They need many different colors and shapes and sizes. The other thing to remember
when you plan a bouquet garden is there
are no rules. You are bringing them inside,
so grow what you like. Colors, especially, are
strictly your deal. Everyone's different."
