Foraged Fall Wreath

Welcome To The Fabulous Fall Garden Tour!

I’ve teamed up with a group of talented ladies to bring you some lovely Fall garden inspiration this week. Thank you to Stacy over at Bricks ‘n Blooms for hosting our blog hop!

If you are hopping over from Jennifer at The Flowering Farmhouse page; welcome! I’m also Jennifer and I love gardening here in New Hampshire; you check out my gardening page here.

What a glorious Autumn day we are having here in New Hampshire today! The leaves have started to fall, but my trees are still holding on to their brightly colored leaves for as long as they can!

It was the perfect day to take a stroll through my garden and into the woods to see what interesting things I could find.

Every season in the garden has it’s own feeling, the Autumn garden is quiet as it winds down for another year. The soft ornamental grass plumes blow in the breeze and there are a few late bloomers having their turn in the spotlight.

Foraging For My Fall Wreath

I grabbed a big basket and my clippers and headed out to see what I could forage to make a Fall wreath.

My basket filled up quickly! I collected different berries from bushes around my yard. I wandered over to the patch of Scotch pines and juniper trees and collected pine cones and a few sprigs of greenery.

  • red berries
  • pine cone on tree
  • ornamental grass plumes

I cut dried grasses, rose hips, echinacea globes, a few sunflower heads, and honestly anything else I came across that seemed interesting.

MY BASKET WAS OVERFLOWING WITH TREASURES FROM MOTHER NATURE.

Making the Foraged Fall Wreath

I spread everything out on my workbench: Echinacea, berries, pine cones, hydrangeas, dried astilbe, dried wildflowers, and sunflowers.

I grabbed a very large grapevine wreath to use as my base.

  • grapevine wreath

I cut through one of the pieces of grapevine that holds the wreath together and unwrapped it so I could loosen and spread out some of the vines to give it a more free form look…not as stiff and formal. ( I rewrapped the vine around the wreath after I was done).

Add The Greenery

I started with the conifer branches. I just tucked them in between the grapevines.

I wanted a freeform feeling to my foraged wreath and let some of the branches stick out a bit on the sides.

hydrangeas

A few colorful hydrangeas were my next addition to the wreath.

Then I popped in the echinacea pods and grass plumes; they both gave some cool texture to the foraged wreath.

I filled in any gaps with the different berries I found (ouch, some of them were a little thorny!!)

wild red berries

The sunflowers still look so joyful! I’m sure when I hang this wreath outside the birds will be visiting to get all the seeds out of these.

The last thing I added were a few pine cones that I hot glued onto the wreath.

Here’s the finished foraged Fall wreath. Oh, I think it’s so pretty, and it didn’t cost me a dime to make!

Plus, I got to enjoy some crisp, fresh Autumn air and the beautiful foliage around me.

What a nice way to spend an Autumn afternoon.

    This is just gorgeous! Today I gathered more bittersweet from across the street and bought a grapevine wreath to make a bittersweet wreath. I love the idea of cutting the grapevine wreath to loosen it up!

    I would love for you to share this post at the All About Home Link Party on my blog! (M @7 EST-Th @12)

    So fun touring with you. Happy fall!

      Thanks Jennifer!! It was a perfect New Hampshire day. I’m such a fan of hydrangeas, and mine are so much more purple this Fall than they usually are.
