Living Wreaths, by Natalie Bernhisel Robinson, Gibbs Smith Publishers, 128 pages, $23.99
There are a variety of locations both inside and outside of the home that you may choose to display a wreath.
It can be a seasonal statement or a longer lasting decoration.
For author and floral designer Natalie Bernhisel Robinson a wreath can be turned into a living work of art. With the careful selection of the right plants, Robinson creates stunning circular designs that improve as they mature.
This book begins with a description of tools that will be needed and their application. Robinson goes on to show in detail how to create the moss basket that is the foundation for all of the wreaths included in the book. Once this base is made then the fun begins.
Starting with five different succulent plant designs, Robinson shows 20 unique creations. She guides the way through each one but makes it clear in her descriptions that there is plenty of room to interpret for yourself how best to display your plant selection.
