Snow....Winter......Garden....



                                       Living Winter Garden






                       Good Monday Morning!!

           Yes I have to admit it....let it out.....I'm a Copy Cat!!

               Remember my inspiration photo

                            



         Just as the snow is falling I'm out around the yard gathering 
                 plants and branches for my Living Winter Garden.

                       Hydrangeas, Black Eyed Suzies that had 
                               gone to seed, cuttings from my
                           Eucalyptus bush, Ornamental Cabbage,
                                 cuttings from Cedars, Evergreens,
                                           Russian Sage.

               I knew I had the perfect chair and a basket that was
                    in the shed that would hold all my cuttings.
                         
                                 Then I went to work 
                     First I put oasis in the bottom of the basket
                  then I started assembling all the cuttings with the 
                       highest at the back. Once it was full and to my 
                             liking I tied it to the back of the bistro 
                                 chair with florist wire. 
                                        
                                     Gave it a good watering so it would
                                            freeze and stay fresh.


                         Next came the branches that I cut from 
                                        my silver spruce.
                                 Laid them on the seat then 
                            I added an old lantern that was missing
                                   some glass and a outdoor candle.
                                        You know the kind with the 
                                   remote so that you can turn it on at
                                                   dusk.

                        Now stand back and admire!

                   

Here I added some colour with my rain/winter
garden  boots.
Also a burlap ribbon to the lantern.
