A gardeners' Christmas list 3 - Christmas wreaths
Christmas wreaths
A wintery, fresh wreath
Will you be making a festive wreath this year? Recently, I’ve been learning how to make a wreath from scratch, with expert tuition from gardener Franziska Stampfli at Fulham Palace. She’s been teaching us how to transform materials sourced from the garden into a beautiful wreath.
She shared her top tips for creating a wreath using fresh garden material, including how to keep it looking its best for as long as possible. I've shared my progress, below.
Moss base layer for the wreath
Making a base: First off we created a base layer using wet moss, this is important for keeping your wreath looking fresh for as long as possible. It is also extremely satisfying as you slowly press the moss around the wreath base (created from wisteria branches, saved when it was pruned earlier in the year), winding string around as you go to keep it in place. Ensure you use moss from a sustainable source.
Using string to secure your foliage
Securing the foliage: Some people might use wire to keep their foliage in place, but here we used string. Keep on wrapping it around to secure your foliage as you go - making sure to pull it tightly to keep everything in place. All the foliage used is straight from the garden, the perk of working somewhere so beautiful is that if you run out of materials - off you go with your secateurs to cut more!

Take your time: After a few hours of hard work, cups of tea and interruptions from the palace cats, I was finished, and pretty happy with the result. Franziska advised using a mister to add moisture to the wreath if the moss starts to dry out, so that your creation doesn't wilt, so I'll be diligently doing that right through December.
If you’ve been inspired to try your own homemade wreath this year, there's plenty of ideas and projects to have a look at. You may have spotted the show-stopper on the front of the latest issue of Gardeners' World Magazine – created by Amber Partner – watch her making it, here. Exclusively for Premium subscribers, she's also created a natural festive wreath in three different ways, that you won't want to miss.
