I’m thrilled to share some exciting news—I'll be speaking at the breathtaking Cheekwood Botanical Garden in Nashville, Tennessee April 7th, 2025 for the Nashville Rose Society! This is a dream come true as I get to talk about two fantastic cut flower topics: summer cut flowers and pairing them with roses. If you’ve ever wanted to create lush, garden-style arrangements or grow stunning blooms for your own cutting garden, this is the talk for you!

Nashville Rose Society
What My Talk Will Cover
During my presentation, I’ll be diving into the beauty of summer cut flowers, annual and perennials, and how they pair beautifully with roses. Whether you’re a flower farmer, home gardener, or floral designer, you’ll walk away with:
✅ A list of the best summer cut flowers to grow alongside roses
✅ Tips on planting, harvesting, and arranging for long-lasting beauty
✅ Inspiration for combining colors, textures, and fragrances in floral design
If you’ve ever wondered how to seamlessly blend roses with other cut flowers for arrangements that look fresh from the garden, this talk will have plenty of ideas for you!
Why This Topic Matters
Roses are timeless, but when paired with the right summer blooms, they become even more breathtaking. As a cut flower grower and floral designer, I love creating garden-inspired arrangements that feel natural and effortless. My goal is to help you see the possibilities in your own garden—whether it’s adding easy-to-grow companions for your roses or designing bouquets that capture the beauty of the season.
