To help keep foliage fresh, gather in advance and submerge in bucket’s of water for a couple of days. This will keep it fresh for longer xxx

I'd always heard that with holly the prickly leaves signified Christ's crown of thorns and that the berries signified his blood. Christmas used to have a truer meaning. MERRY CHRISTMAS everyone!:)

What a treat to watch instead of the news! Thank you.

Stunning. I too decorate with nature. There's nothing more lovely. 🕊️

[GenevieveEKelly]

Foraged, to decorate, instead of all the store bought junk. I was just thinking about this today. If only we all had access to these natural materials.

Thank you for highlighting how to sensitivity forage, especially moss. Our wildlife population will thank you ❤️

There’s nothing like the winter holidays in England. Thank you and glad I found you.

Had a lovely time foraging with you. I enjoy doing it just in my 2 acre garden. I don’t get as many. Berries as you do in the UK.

This was fabulous to watch and well explained for simpletons like me! I will definitely be having a go this year. Love the hat Sally!

My husband has been pulling grapevine from our trees and grapevines….I love the idea of doing natural. I usually go overly crazy, but this year want to try lots of natural for my Christmas. So glad you popped up on my feed. Since I have so much grapevine I am thinking there are going to be wreaths everywhere and one laid down on tables. You did a great job. I will subscribe so I can “see” you again.❤❤❤

Such lovely natural decorations. We wait to gather in the greenery until the Winter Solstice every year

[blossomyES]

Absolutely beautiful Christmas arrangements ❤

Oh this was so beautiful, it’s made me feel all Christmassy now ❄️🎄 We live on the edge of Dartmoor, so I’m off with the dog out foraging this afternoon with secateurs!! Thanks so much for some great ideas

[juliahelland]

I also love harvesting natural plant material in our woodlands. Thanks for sharing! 💯 ❣️

[marticooper]

beautiful! I have always added natural elements to a base of faux (since the quality has really come a long way in the last few years), but you’ve really inspired me to go all natural this year! In. S. California we have lots of various types of eucalyptus, cypress & pine everywhere so they will be my base, but you’ve inspired me to also use ivy now! (I had always reserved ivy for spring / Easter before.) Thank you so much for the lovely video❤️

[madlenheather]

Lovely I wish you could do video a week to see more of good living in the country

[sophiaerling]

Very beautiful. I even make the base myself with foraged branches.

[NatashaNewtonArt]

What a beautiful, cosy, and inspiring video!

Thank you for sharing your lovely video.🫖

My holly bushes have berries on this year. Ideal for Christmas, sustainable Church flowers with ivy. It’s good to know the vase life will be about three weeks in a cold environment such as a Church.
