    Your homemade Christmas

    Nov 18, 2021 4 minutes

    Making a wreath is a great way to mark the start of the festive season. Decorations feel especially poignant this year as many of us were unable to celebrate last Christmas with our loved ones. All the decorations on the following pages are made from plants widely grown in gardens or available in garden centres and florists. See p51 for my step-by-step wreath guide and the QR code to watch my how-to video.

    A warm welcome

    This autumn-hued wreath features crab apples, beech and chestnut leaves, and wild carrot flowers, along with sprigs of eucalyptus to give off a wonderful scent. The foliage has been kept long and loose to give the wreath a natural, foraged look.
