Christmas Wreaths

I like to make my own Christmas Wreaths to decorate outside the house.

Using materials found in the garden and hedge.

This year I have used holly with berries, ivy( again with berries), apples, long pine cones from the tree in the front garden  and  pyracantha berries, we had yellow, red and orange, the orange looked the best this year. 

Some years I have also used laurel leaves, rosemary, satsumas, etc. whatever is available and looking nice at the time.

Wreath on the big gates into the walled garden.

As you can see I favour a very loose design.

Gate into the garden

By the front door. 
 The base was made many years ago from ivy stalks twisted together and can be used year after year.

Add some battery LEDs with a timer and looks great when darkness falls.
