The living wreath is pretty
easy to make. I used 3 ivy
potted plants from Home Depot.

(3) Gently rinse the soil from ivy roots with room temp water (no need to remove all of it ... keep plants in a plastic bag so roots don't dry out).
(4) Scoop up some of the spagnum moss and squeeze out excess water and
wrap only the roots with the spagnum moss.
(5) Lay it on the frame and wrap the frame around with wire to hold in plants.
(6) Repeat steps 4, 5 and 6 until the whole frame is covered.
(7) Tie the final end to the frame to hold everything together.
The finished look will be that the wire covering the roots bunches will be covered by the leaves from the next bunch.The leaves conceals the frame and roots.
