    What a pretty wreath ! At first I was thinking don't add the oranges but as usual , Laura was correct ... They really made it pop...
    Merry Christmas everyone !

      Loved this tutorial!! I made a natural wreath from my hemlock, spruced and holly trees and shrubs from your instructions which were so helpful! I added 3 white dried starfish that I bought at Michaels. The white starfish contrasted nicely with the red holly berries too!

    Good morning from the west side of Oregon. Laura I'm so glad you are up this time of day to keep me company. And it's nice hearing from everyone else also and to know that I'm not the only one awake at this hour, 4:00 in the morning. Isn't the snow beautiful and the Sunshine makes it so sparkly in addition to Laura's beautiful sparkly happy face. This is going to be a very good day.

    At the end I would have added one more bundle, but of course Laura sees space for 2 or three! And then the oranges didn't seem necessary, but as usual, Laura knows best! They really did make it brighter! You have such a gift for teaching, thanks for always bringing us along.

    Laura, you should have your peeps send in photos of wreaths made from their gardens. I feel a contest in the making!
    Winner gets a wreath form, a pair of Felcos and some paddle wire or just props for showing their creations in a future video.
    I'm loving this idea especially if participants come from all the growing zones.
    I forgot to say, your wreath is very pretty the oranges do give it a pop. I bet it smells so good too.

    This was so fun to watch. Have you ever attached a wreath to the front of your truck? Seems like it would be something to romance the ordinary during the holidays. I have always wanted to but I end up talking myself out of it with the snow, salt, and countless carwashes. However, this might be something I do this year during the week of Christmas. Merry Christmas!

Also thank you for all that you guys do, I love watching every day even the weekly recap even though I am not a gardener. I’m in Australia and it’s such a peaceful way to end my day when you post each night (our time).
