Wedding Testimonials (top^)

Hi Catherine, It has been 27 Days since our wedding but it still feels like it was just yesterday we were in your beautiful gardens saying our vows. I wanted to take this opportunity to THANK YOU from the bottom of our hearts for everything. You have been very attentive and responsive to all of my emails even when there were last minute changes. For a bride, that means alot! Everything was picture perfect for our wedding day. The flowers exceeded any expectations I may have had. Everyone who saw pictures were raving and I was proud to tell them that you were my florist. Every last detail was so perfect it was surreal. We thank you and Tom for opening the farmhouse and gardens to us. It was the ideal setting for a perfect wedding. We will recommend the Cutting Garden to anyone planning an outdoor wedding. Once again, THANK YOU!!!! Sincerely, - Chanthy and Chris

Dear Catherine and Tom, We are still reviewing happy memories of our surprise birthday party for Dick at the Cutting Garden. It was a magical event, a perfect day.

Dear Catherine, Ben and I just wanted to tell you thanks for a perfect day! You created a place for our memories to be harvested! The flowers were perfect! I cannot believe how you saw my vision as a work of art for your floral artistry. More beautiful than words could ever explain. also, the decorating came out wonderfully. We will never forget where our journey as husband and wife began. You are truly appreciated! Love - Ben & Robyn L.

Catherine, I just wanted to say thank you so much for taking the time to meet with my father and I. We were very impressed with your genuine kindness and professionalism. I sent you a picture of my dress (hope that is ok) There is alot to the train of the dress, but we decided to probably keep it bustled during the walk. It is a little more fancy than I ever thought I would like, (I'm kind of a tomboy) but it sure is pretty on and will look so beautiful in your wonderful gardens! My fiance' Adam is very excited to meet you and see the grounds, so I will be calling you in early January to see if we can set that up. Thanks so much - Kenette E.

Dear Catherine I wanted to thank you once again for the beautiful flowers you created for Michele and Ted's wedding. We were awed by their beauty, and moved by your effort to provide peonies for Michele. Those small things (but not necessarily easy) blessed us. We had a wonderful time at The Cutting Garden. Sincerely - Louis and Keith

Tom, As to our reception, it was wonderful!! The weather was perfect, the gardens were beautiful, and Katherine was most helpful and supportive. Thank you and Katherine for making this day special - Bill

Catherine and Tom- Thank you so much for being a part of our wedding. I cannot think of a better place to be married; and you helped to assure us that everything would be taken care of - you really made the day special! - Lisa and Darrin

Catherine, Adam and I just got home from our Honeymoon and wanted to make sure you knew how much we appreciated everything that you did for us on our special day. Our flowers were beautiful and the way that the tent was decorated was amazing! Thanks again, we will make sure that we recommend you to anyone that needs a beautiful place to get married! It was not only the little things that you did that we noticed, but the biggest thing was having someone help us (you, your husband, and your helpers) who we felt like genuinely cared about the outcome of our wedding. Thanks again - Adam and Gabi

Thank you again for the wonderful wedding for Amber and Josh. The grounds were fabulous, the floral arrangements were exquisite and the overall experience was amazing. Our guests were left speechless by the whole experience. They felt they were living in a dream. When the horse and carriage from Port Townsend Livery took the kids away at the end of the festivities into the setting sun as the guests waved they said they felt they were in a fairy tale where the couple left and lived happily ever after. What more could you ask for!!! Thank you from all of us - Ernie & Cindy K.

Dear Catherine & Tom, We had the most wonderful and terrific wedding at The Cutting Garden last weekend! The place looked wonderful. Catherine, the flowers were terrific. Thanks for being so helpful. I can't believe that we were able to have the ceremony moved outside! In April? In the Pacific Northwest??! I'm so looking forward to seeing all of the pictures!

Our best wishes & many blessings. - Rochelle & Lang

Oh my, what a wonderful day we had!!! Even tho it was a little wet, it couldn't have more beautiful and Kate and John are still thanking their moms and dads for their wedding day... Catherine, I can't thank you enough for being part of my little girl's day. Her bouquet was the most beautiful she's ever seen and she drove off today with the it in its jar held tightly in her hands. Melissa took her bouquet to school for her 3rd graders to see :) Nearly every one of our guests were totally amazed at the beauty of the garden and farmhouse - even in the "rain"!! I can't believe you've got a pix on the web already - did you snap that w/digital while Sherrie was at work? Pretty sneaky! What a treat for us to see our gorgeous couple on your site - and of course I've already made calls to tell everyone to look. Thanking you for you and for your all of your most lovely creations (including the garden) that made Kate and John's day so memorable! - M.

Thank you so much for everything you did to make our wedding a success! John and I had a wonderful time and didn't ever want it to end. Our flowers turned out great and the atmosphere was simply perfect! All of our guests kept gushing about how amazing the surroundings were. They kept saying "how did you find this place?!" You really helped make our wedding a beautiful, relaxing, and enjoyable experience...exactly what we wanted. :-) - Cathy C.

All of our guests are still raving about how wonderful the day at the Cutting Garden was, how gorgeous the flowers were and how perfect the whole set up was. Thanks again for all of that! - Scott & Holly

Hello, I just received my lavender and I just wanted to let you know it made my day! Your product is superb. It smells just heavenly. I am so pleased to have found your website.

Catherine, Thank you so much for the fast delivery of your wonderful and heavenly lavender. I could smell the aroma before I opened the box. I will do business with you in the future and recommend you to my friends. - Eleni

I have never had anything that smells SO good show up at my door before. I am in heaven! Thank you! - Teresa S.

Thank you so much for being so prompt. The bags (of lavender) are beautiful. I am very pleased. I love lavender. I will continue to place orders thru your website. Thanks Again - Linda L.

Thank you so VERY much. They (the lavender bundles) are already here and look just beautiful. I didn't expect them to arrive so quickly. I know they will look great in the table centerpieces and add a peaceful touch to my daughter's wedding shower. Thank you, thank you, thank you. - Pat M.

Thanks for being diligent in returning my call. It was a pleasure to speak with you and have your input. So often the lavender farms haven't returned calls, I think because my quantity is too small to notice. Thanks for the personal attention and for helping to make my wedding a special one! - Lynette B.

I wanted to say thank you for the fast shipment of my lavender buds. I was very surprised to see them sitting on my front porch this morning. I only ordered them two days ago. The color and fragrance is wonderful and will make my soaps a little more special. - Stephanie B.

This is my second order of your great lavender. I am sewing some sachets for Christmas gifts to give to relatives, friends & co-workers; they are so nice I've decided to make more. I will send you a picture of them - thanks so much. - Sandy B.

Dear Tom & Catherine, I just wanted to tell you how happy I was to receive my box of fresh lavender. When I opened my mailbox the aroma just made me smile, I knew my package had arrived without even seeing who it was from. It is very difficult to find lavender here in New Jersey. When I did a search on Yahoo and found your web site I was thrilled. Now that I have ordered and received my order so promptly I will be ordering from you all the time. Thank you for growing and selling lavender. - Judy R.

Good Morning, I received my lavender order on Monday and you just can't imagine how wonderful it was to open that parcel and have the scent of lavender pour out of it. We have snow on the ground here in Calgary and everything is very gray and white and dreary. Your lavender really cheered up our whole household. My dear old mother's face lifted when she caught a whiff of it and she sat at the kitchen table and just breathed for awhile. My husband wanted to fill a sachet right there and then and head off to bed with it. He managed to wait until 9:00pm. Anyway, we are really happy with the quality of your lavender and I expect we will be placing another order in the new year. Thank you so much. - Carol Ann M.

Catherine, I would like to personally thank you for the beautiful lavender. It arrived Wed, we followed your instructions for care prior to the wedding. We used them on the guest dining tables. They smelled absolutely wonderful. We offered them in vases to our guests at the end of the reception, and boy did they go fast!!! Again thanks for beautiful fragrant bouquets. - Pat

Thank you for the last order, it completely sold out in 2 days. Have another festival on the 8th and thought I would offer your bundles again. The aroma was a real draw. - Vicki M.

Your beautiful bundles were the perfect thing for our school fund raiser. Everyone just loved them and had to take one home. Next year we will be sure to order more because they sold out too quickly. Thank you so much - Denise

Catherine, I received the lavender today.............unbelievable! I have never seen dried flowers so perfect. Nothing like I have ever seen! Glad you use priority postal service-UPS would have ruined it. I will be ordering a case to decorate the tables at our son's wedding rehearsal dinner. Thanks again!!!!!!!!!! - Judy P.

I received my lavender buds today. Thank you so much. They are bright in color and the aroma is heavenly. Thank you for delivering so quickly too! An admirer - Sharon

I just got the ungroomed bundles today - they look groomed to me! And I just love the adorable little gift you included. Thank you, I will be ordering again. - Sandy P.

Wholesale Lavender Testimonials (top^)

"Our company recently expanded its product line to include herbal therapy items for major retail chains. Our need for lavender required us to evaluate several growers based on price and quality. After selecting an initial lavender supplier, we received a sample of the Cutting Garden's Grosso product. Our 'in-house' survey found that their dried bud fragrance and eye appeal were far superior to our initial choice. We switched our order to The Cutting Garden and can recommend them without reservation. They have provided us with excellent service." - Dan Patton, International Gift Sources, Torrance, CA.

When we were asked by Penhaligon's of London if we could produce 2,300 adorable miniature lavender bundles and ship them to 17 different locations in just 4 weeks time, we said "Yes, we would love to help you promote your Lavandula line of products at Saks stores nationwide!" After we completed the project on time, Shaun of Penhaligon's wrote "Thank you so much for all you are doing for us. All the lavender sprigs look wonderful!"
