A cutting garden – a piece of earth used primarily for cutting flowers and bringing into the house for arranging in vases – sounds kind of elitist. Like a prim and proper English lady who has a team of gardeners, and ventures out to the garden with a floppy straw hat with her “secateurs” to cut flowers at the ‘peak of perfection’ and places in her English trug. After cutting the flowers, she brings them in to arrange them in fabulous vases that will decorate her wonderful English Cottage.
