I collected a bundle of rose-hips the other day from my neighbor. They'll look great on my foraged Christmas tree! It's nice to mix it up when most of what I have so far is brown bits of dried up leaves and seed pods. Hopefully I'll have time to string cranberries! A friend of mine does this every year and made the point that she never has to remove any decorations when it's time for the tree to sit at the curb. A compost-ready Christmas. Brilliant!
i can't wait to see the result! i love rosehips.
ReplyDeleteOne year I had a Christmas tree on my front porch. I strung popcorn and cranberry garlands, it looked so pretty. And all the squirrels in the neighbourhood loved it to. It was a free buffet for them.
ReplyDeleteChristine,
ReplyDeleteThis is a great ideal. Thanks for sharing it.
What a great idea, I hope you post a photo of the completed project!
ReplyDeleteHello Christine,
ReplyDeleteI love this idea! Talk about a sustainable Christmas!
Oh, rose hips would be beautiful on a tree! Every year my neighbor drags home a discarded branch and decorates it for Christmas. They are quite sculptural and lovely.
ReplyDeleteThanks, guys! I'll report back on how it goes. Perhaps we'll get a tree tonight and begin our annual trimmings!
