Spring Wisteria Wreath

Us Southern gals are at it again, this time with flowers…and my Spring Wisteria Wreath.

I definitely feel more accomplished with my gardening skills then I am of my culinary skills…and lack there of.  In fact, I would rather be digging in the dirt, then cooking in my kitchen which you can see here, any day. 
 

One of the first plants that I planted in my garden 11 years ago, were 2 Wisteria vines. Each year, they come back bigger and prettier then ever. Every year I have to prune them multiple times so they don’t look completely out of control.

The funny thing is, I had never considered using the cuttings for a wreath….until this weekend. So with shears in hand, I snipped about 15 clippings and attached them to a grapevine wreath using floral wire.

 Snip, attach and hang. The benefit to fresh floral wreaths like this Spring Wisteria Wreath is how easy it is to assemble. The disadvantage is, that unfortunately it wont last for long, even with regular misting. But that doesn’t stop me from making them and enjoying them, if even for a few days.

I decided to hang this one on of our feed sheds near the pasture. Now, feeding time is met with a big ole smile, by me….and the animals.

  1. Beautiful! I love wisteria and every time I see a vine, I think of my grandmother. She had them all over her yard and they make me smile too!

  2. Very sweet wreath! I love wisteria. I live in NC on the coast and the wisteria was blooming a couple of weeks ago. I just adore it. I have always wanted to plant some in my garden somewhere but being that it needs to climb I am not sure where I would put it!

  3. Oh I adore Wisteria!! How beautiful and how lucky you have it right there at your fingertips! I love when it's in bloom!
    Your wreath made from it is lovely!

  4. I love working in the yard also. You sure do make pretty wreaths Laura. I wished you lived near me so you could make my wreaths. I have wisteria and never thought about making a wreath, guess what I will try to make tomorrow……

  5. Love that gorgeous wreath!!…I love wisteria…we used to have it in our home in Florida, but it went crazy…we dubbed it "Hysteria"…..By the way Laura…your posts have stopped coming into my email….that Feedburner issue I think!

  6. Hi Laura, playing catch up, I am a fan of Wisteria. We had the worst luck with ours in the old house. We never got one flower, ever, so disappointing. Love this wreath, it gorgeous. You always do a great job.
