This easy to create branch structure is a great mechanic to support branches and flowers from your garden or a combination of garden and market materials. Here is how to do it…

Getting started:

You will need branches, a round bubble bowl and bind wire.

Cross branches and bind into a loose grid.

Place the grid over the top of the bowl and add several branches in a radial fashion.

Almost like making a hand tied bouquet stems cross in a spiral fashion. Pussy willow, cherry blossom branches, dogwood, deutzia, a few deciduous azalea, and white iris blooms all radiate from a point just below the grid. In May you can find these flowers in local gardens in Pennsylvania. Foraging and finding plant material is part of the fun!

Another spring mix held in place with green cornus branches and magnolia stems supports hellebores, chartreuse viburnum, ranunculus, and just a few spectacular poppies.

Your eco-friendly grid may be used over-and-over again as your flowers change with the seasons.
