Instructions
Use a planter from the summer with the dirt still inside.
If you have some thicker branches such as the two white birch branches stick them in first at a slight angle.
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 varying greens inside and on top of the first layer.
Add more branches working toward the middle.
Then add berries and seed pods towards the top middle.
Turn the pot all around and fill in with more greenery as needed.
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.
