It’s important to know the best stage to harvest the blooms for each flower type that you intend to harvest, as not all blooms have the same harvesting stage for drying.
Remove most of the leaves from the stem, leaving a few at the top. Bunch the flowers together in small bunches of ten to thirty stems, depending on the flower.
Place an elastic band at the bottom of each bunch, to hold the stems together. This will help to prevent some flowers from slipping out onto the floor as they dry.
