It’s snowing like mad right now (a rare treat here on the Wet Coast), which has nudged me, grudgingly, into thinking about the holidays (I know, I’m a little late to the party). I’m thinking, specifically, about crafting and decorating, and about the different ideas I’ve covered here over the years.
Here’s a roundup of garden-related gifts you can DIY:
It’s not too late to make an evergreen wreath. This step-by-step guide shows you how.
I would still love to make this gourd birdhouse. If only the gourds were easier to come by. Next year I might have to grow my own.
Alice from NoussNouss gave me this idea. Seedballs as Christmas gifts! One afternoon cranking them out and you’d have all your gifts covered. Here’s the low down on how to make them.
Finally, Martha’s stone plant markers would also make fabulous stocking stuffers.
What are you making for the holidays?

Just trying to make more time. I did decorate a wreath, a real one, for the front door. I still want to fix up my containers, but don’t know if I’ll get to it. So much to do, ya know.
I love those plant markers. What a grand idea.~~Dee

Popcorn and cranberry strings – some for the tree, some for the birds. Easy, inexpensive, kids love it, and they look gret.

Andrea, those are GREAT ideas! The wreath is so pretty, and seed balls just might be the best gift for those renegade (read: guerrilla) gardeners in our lives ;)
