We’d like to include more natural plant material in our Greens Sale wreaths and arrangements this year, so keep those eyes open. Whether you’re hiking, meandering, traveling, or gardening; grab that interesting stem or branch to save for the fall. And, flowers may be hung to dry.
Check out the plant list and pictures below. Perhaps you’d enjoy planting some; perhaps some are growing in your garden already. Whatever, think Greens Sale now.
