Instructions

  • Use a planter from the summer with the dirt still inside.

  • Insert springs of greens around the top of the planter. Make sure that they are coming out to the sides and somewhat flat.

  • Add more branches working toward the middle.
  • Then add berries and seed pods towards the top middle.

Notes

If you are working with an empty planter you can fill them with dirt or use styrofoam or other materials to hold in the plant stems.
