Magnolia and eucalyptus wreath in the garden. Kept it until spring.
Another red wreath made from scratch.
Old wreath rings being recycled.
Colourful and made with a mixture of foraged, recycled and purchased materials.
A wreath made from a coiled cedar garland with different seeds and berries added.
26 inch Fraser fir wreath made from scratch. You bet their favourite color is red!
Swag on my back gate. Love the shape of these foraged pine branches. There were so much to collect after the windstorm. I kept going back for more!
Pepperberry and sea lavender wreath (with leucodendron) for a dear friend. The clip on bird ornaments are an extra touch. My GF sent me this photo after it was hung on her door. She loved it!
Foraged pine and pyracantha stems and yew cuttings from the garden are tucked into this vintage duck terrine.
Pine, noble branches with Thuja Forever Goldie and Leucothoe axillaris Curly Red from the garden comprise the base arrangement of his mini radio flyer container. Ilex berries and white pine cones and a stick bundle are the fun elements of this fundraising arrangement made for a friend.
Winter arrangements are just as fun to make as summer ones.
Last winter’s backdoor wreath made with mossy branches, Skimmia japonica, Thuja forever Goldie and Juniper berries.
