Make A Living Wreath

I made this wreath at a Garden Club workshop taught by Nancy Sakala. I just LOVE it! First, take a wire wreath frame and cover it with a nice layer of moss [sphagnum or spanish] and then wrap that in black plastic strips. [make these by cutting 3 inch strips from a black plastic garbage bag] Make sure they are tight. You can secure the ends with floral pins or straight pins. Once that is accomplished then start filling in your wreath frame with ivy and/or pachysandra cut with 2 inch stems by poking a slit with a knife and inserting the plant. Once it is covered then soak the wreath to get the moss nice and moist. Keep it on a round glass platter that has a little lip. Insert a hurricane glass in the middle with a candle for a beautiful table centerpiece. As the plants send out roots through the wet moss they will take root. In the spring plant them in your garden! Then, have a Merry Christmas all year long...
