Hand-made Boxwood Wreath

Here is a boxwood wreath our Mom made for her home in Virginia. She first covered a wire wreath form with wet sphagnum moss, stuck branches of boxwood into the moss until ti was covered, then added some various evergreen branches from around the yard before adorning with a pretty bow and attaching it to the front door. The advantage of using the wet moss is that the boxwood won't dry out too quickly. She made this wreath in early December and now that it's almost Christmas, it still looks fantastic!
