Visits to greenhouses and conservatories help, but I just love bringing elements of the garden into my home. They help me cope with the short days of Jan-Feb.
Such as:
1) In the form of wall hangings:
- Dried leaves
- Flower petals
- Seeds
Make really simple selections or use your creative side to make patterns or designs.
2) Cuttings/stems
- Dogwoods
- Pussy Willows
- Alder
- Bulrush
- Grasses
3) Framed garden photos:
Whether they be of flowers from your own garden or ones like this free option on Amazon.ca - they bring warmth and a cheery reminder of the growing season to come!
4) Dried Flowers, leaves, fruits and cones arrangements:
Late summer option
Winter option
So before the garden goes to rest in Late Summer - Autumn, collect items you love. Bring them indoors overwinter and allow them to remind you of the lush growing season you'll create this up-coming year!
