| Use Dried Greenery In Your Fall/Winter Displays |
Although the outdoor flowers are dying, you can still use lots of garden items for decoration, inside and out! I like to make fall and winter arrangements in antique milk jugs that I got from auctions of relatives. In one, I have just filled with corkscrew willow. The dried leaves just come right off when you run your hand across it. In the other, I have filled with a type of tall grass and dried hydrangeas.
Then in December I will cut fresh evergreen from the tress and fill in around the milk jugs. It looks beautiful and is welcoming to your guests. You can also use the dried flowers in your house, as I have done with the hydrangeas in a vase. I also use pussy willow in a vase, it is gorgeous and just stays pretty like it is since it is dried. I also love to bring in some of the fresh cut evergreen for Christmas decorating.
