Start Zinnia Seeds & Grow a Cut‑Flower Garden

Get your hands dirty and learn how to start zinnia seeds to grow your own beautiful cut-flower garden!

Celebrate the start of the growing season with a hands‑on workshop designed to spark creativity and cultivate beauty. In this interactive session, participants will learn the basics of starting zinnia seeds—one of the most reliable and rewarding flowers for any cut garden. All materials are provided, including a seed‑starting tray and a curated selection of colorful zinnia varieties.

Guided by our garden team, you'll sow two trays of seeds: one that will be nurtured and grown for the Botanical Gardens' summer cut‑flower display, and one you'll take home to begin your own personal cutting garden. Along the way, you'll learn practical tips for seed starting, transplanting, and encouraging long, strong stems perfect for bouquets.
