(New verb) I love to cut my andromeda now with its soft red berried tips, boxwood from our humongeous hedge, and thujopsis, that almost regal evergreen, even more dazzling when you flip to the the underside with its silvery veining. My car will be laden with greens but I can't resist a little magnolia, so furry....and don't forget the holly and the ivy! I think I'll need a U-Haul. xxx Ginny <em>Ginny, I love the idea of andromeda! You definitely have a plethora to choose from in your garden and your wreaths are always magnificent and extra creative. I'll be doing a lot of "wreathing" (love it!) this week too so if you have any left overs... ! -kris</em> I’m coming up to Blithewold next week to wreath away.

We used to scavenge in the woods to find all sorts of things for wreaths. Have a Happy Thanksgiving. <em>Thank you!
