My backyard, in Ottawa, Ontario, is beneath a variety of snow proper now, so I made a decision to speak in regards to the inventive wreaths that tie my backyard along with colour by means of every season. When my backyard is waking within the spring, I’m busily planning my colour chart as to what annuals I’ll plant alongside my perennials. This dictates how I’ll construct my wreath and what hues I’ll incorporate in it. I take advantage of as many pure merchandise as I can, however because the wreath might be on my entrance door for months of southern publicity, I’m restricted in my use of dwelling crops. I’ve been doing this since 2000, and annually appears to “develop” greater, because it appears my creativity is aware of no bounds.
The entrance backyard in June is filled with flowers, with all the colours echoed within the wreath on the entrance door.
The rose is superb in full growth in June.
The backyard in late September remains to be filled with flowers and colour, although the rose is completed.
The backyard at Christmas time, coated in snow, nonetheless has some colour from the wreath on the entrance door.
I create a hanger every winter from gathered twigs, berries, conifer ideas, and water that I enable to freeze. This hanger was impressed by music notes.
