Cutting garden
Cutting gardens need not be unsightly or relegated to large estates. It is possible, with good planning to have a cutting garden that is attractive. The key is to arrange plants so that when one flower is cut, something else fills in. Consideration should also be given to insuring that there are specimens throught as much of the year as the climate allows. Good flowers for a cutting garden include roses, lilacs, tulips, delphiniums, daisies, baby's breath, peonies, zinnias, grasses, pussy willows, gomphrena, bells of Ireland, Russian sage, lavender, daffodils, lilies, gladiolas, sunflowers, strawflowers, asters, chrysanthemums, coleus, pansies and dahlias. These are just a few possibilities. Any plant that has good flowers, form or foliage and does well when cut should be considered. --Dbanke 01:51, 15 April 2006 (UTC)Deborah Banke

Is this correct?
"a form of garden usually grown for decorative purposes". Can a garden be grown? And are not all the gardens made for decorative purposes? Maybe you wanted to speak about the flowers.

Response: Vegetable gardens are often grown for food, herb gardens for medicinal and food herbs, cutting gardens for the production of flowers rather than admiration of flowers where they're grown, and so on. So I definitely wouldn't say that all gardens are made for decorative purposes.ChickenFreak (talk) 06:10, 9 May 2015 (UTC)

Big subject, small article
I was expecting more, for example lists to a list of self-seeding flowers, something about an english cottage garden, although perhaps this is covered at gardening. 80.2.198.47 12:36, 20 June 2007 (UTC)

Minesweeper
The Minesweeper game that comes with Microsoft Windows is now called Flower Garden in some locales (where the mine imagery was removed to avoid causing offence). Might be worth a disambiguation. 86.137.106.168 (talk) 23:23, 4 May 2010 (UTC)
