Starting flowers from seed is a transformative journey that opens up a world of possibilities most gardeners never experience. While it might seem intimidating at first, the rewards are worth it – greater variety, significant cost savings, and the pure satisfaction of nurturing something from its very beginning.

As Kenly reveals from her years of experience managing our seed starting program, success comes down to understanding some fundamental principles. The 128-cell trays we use hit that perfect sweet spot for most flower varieties – enough space for healthy root development without the risk of becoming root-bound too quickly. Proper soil moisture is also crucial – damp enough to hold together when squeezed but never soggy, leading to the dreaded damping off that claims so many seedlings.

Ready to experience the magic of growing flowers from seed? Start small, be patient with yourself, and don't procrastinate – as Kenly wisely notes, Mother Nature waits for no one. These tiny miracles begin with your cutting garden, bouquets, or flower farm. What seeds will you start growing today?
