    Ok, I’m just going to have to stop watching you Georgie. I’m trying to get my home decorated for Christmas and you are making me drool all over everything. I’ve been studying my fireplace with its antique oak front and the matching buffet in my dining room trying to come up with an idea of a garland. Suffice it to say I’m pea green with envy after seeing yours. Can only dream! From your friend in South Carolina, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! P. S. Only kidding about not watching, I’m absolutely addicted. Gorgeous as always!

    Here it is a year later and I just watched your clip. Yes I am motivate to forage. This weekend will be perfect snow has melted and it will be 50 degrees. My momma loved twisted willow. So I do also. Aren't you lucky!

    You astonish me because you put things together that I never would have done, but the result is glorious. I have a friend who lets me have variegated holly too. I keep him sweet with homemade mince pies and a wreath for his door! This was really useful, thank you!

    What a perfect video for me!! I only have string to use. No fancy florist wire! But I have so many pretty stems and vines around that I'm wanting to use. Your video is exactly what I was needing to see! I can't wait to get started in a couple of weeks!

    Astonishing beautiful. Five different kinds of greenery is remarkable and then you add wonderful crab apples plus other decorative bits and end up with unusual loveliness that doesn't look like anyone else's garland. Nothing at all like the tacky ones in stores.

    Beautiful. I think I'll put something like that together for outside my door. I'll use some jute to hold it together. I'll beg some rose hips from a neighbour. I do wish I had some crab apples like those. I have dolgos, which have gone over already.

    Your use of pudging is like zhuzhing, (or zhoosh or jeuje or tszuj!) making little tweaks or final flourishes.

    If you were doing it for outside would you use wire as the base instead of string. This is so beautiful ❤️

    • @theflowerfarmer
      @theflowerfarmer  11 місяців тому

      inside it will dry slowly over days and weeks - you can spritz to keep fresher but watch out for polished furniture underneath! outside it'll last better as plenty of winter moisture in the air unless a freeze in which air may be very dry - as usual, swings and roundabouts x

      well I saw it in my client's house two weeks' later, and while I might have given it a spritz myself to keep it fresher actually it looked surprisingly good - if I were making it for my own Christmas I might make it only a couple of days before the big day x
