I was so inspired by Jewell2009's living wreath tutorial, and I soooooo wanted one for me, that I decided to give it a go. I was able to buy a metal wreath ring for 13p, but they only had small ones, a bag of moss cost £1.25 and the florist wire cost 99p. I have potting compost, succulents and tights already. Spent a fun hour in the greenhouse being creative, and here is the outcome. I am THRILLED and plan to make more. I think mum and my sister will love one each for their garden tables. Thanks Jewell2009, you are a great teacher. ( photo / image / picture from EJ's Garden ) ( photo / image / picture from EJ's Garden ) ( photo / image / picture from EJ's Garden )
You're not the only one to be inspired EJ. I've been collecting bits and pieces to try one for myself too. Mind you I doubt it will turn out as good as either yours or Jewell's somehow. Do let us see more piccies of the one you've made as it fills out please.
Thanks guys. I do have another wreath and plenty of wires...and I am thinking of making a cactus one for the conservatory........what do you think?
That wreath looks very good, EJ. I shall be interested in seeing your cactus one. Wreaths are so nice to have.
Great wreath EJ. Now the hardest part is waiting for the plants to fill out. The cactus one should be really pretty too.
