Category: Home & Garden
Type of item: Plant or Flower
For: Home
Style: Whimsical
Materials
Wire wreath, wire, spagnum moss, hen & Chicks,potting soil
What was your inspiration?
I love the story behind Hen & Chicks, Back in early america the roofs where made of thatch{straw,Sticks} and the hen & chicks were placed on the roofs , they are a scucculent plant that holds water, If A fire was to happen, it would burn at a slower rate w/Hen & Chicks attached to the roof...
What are you most proud of?
My garden is my sanctuary..This week I have 101 foxgloves blooming, they all came from 3 plants I purchased 2years ago, I gathered seeds from every flower, and planted all of them..Now I have an abundance of hummingbird delights to watch..
What advice would you give someone starting this project?
Place your moss all around with small amount of soil, place your Hen & Chicks around, then wire around the wreath, water...Wait for a week before hanging so the plants can anchor themselves securly.. Another option is to take a basket with a coco mat and flip it over, fill w/some moss and soil, place Hen & chicks, then wire the bottom to retain the stabilty...Have fun..and get dirty..
