Come along as I forage and make a living spring wreath!

Yep, I’ve been out foraging again 😄. I took the time for some creative fun this week. My goal: a living spring wreath with both plants and cut flowers on a compostable wreath vase. This is the result of my first attempt - that’s right, I’d never tried this before; but like any good florist, I had a pretty solid plan going in. Thankfully, my mechanics stood up to the test! 😜 I filmed my process of how I assembled this and the native ingredients that I incorporated from my farm - we maintain and utilize some spaces with native species for designs. So, come along as I go foraging for some ingredients to make a living spring wreath! A step-by-step demonstration showing how to make a living wreath on a DIY wreath frame. The finished wreath contains native plants, spring bulbs, and fresh and dried cut flowers foraged on my cut flower farm and grown in my flower gardens. This floral foam-free wreath is compostable, reusable, and long-lasting and will see me through spring, getting refreshed with new cut flowers as needed. Made using a combination of techniques including wrapping, Kokedama, and stem insertions. Hope it inspires! All foraging is done mindfully of density, soil stability, and bio diversity. Ingredients, both living and non, are reused or replanted at the wreath’s end. Long-term, we also work to eradicate invasives and restore pasture and natural riparian zones on our farm. Final ingredients: Oemleria cerasiformis, Tiarella trifoliata (foam flower), vinka (periwinkle), Chamaenerion angustifolium, narcissus, hyacinth, primula, snowdrop, strawflower, branches, pussy willow, boxwood, juniper, oak, lichen, and moss on a natural wreath base of grapevine and curly willow.
