I’ve got another wreath idea to share with you.

This one is not just decorative but also useful in the kitchen

A wreath made of Rosemary sprigs is both aromatic and handy to snip and add in meal preparation.

For the base of the wreath I looked for a small circle.  I found a package of four, five-inch metal circles in the leather supply section of the craft store.You could use a heavy wire and make the circle yourself.

After cutting the rosemary into 5-6-inch pieces, I wired several of them into a bundle. 

It took six bundles to go around and fill out this 5-inch wire circle.

That’s all there is to it.

It smells wonderful too!

My Rosemary was a windowsill-size gift from a friend.  I kept it indoors for a year and then planted it outside in a pot.  It grew and I transplanted it into a raised bed herb garden two years ago.

Rosemary is an aromatic, perennial herb with fragrant, evergreen, needle-like leaves. The leaves are used as a flavoring in foods such as stuffing, pork, chicken and turkey. It is native to the Mediterranean region. The name “rosemary” derives from the Latin for “dew” (ros) and “sea” (marinus), or “dew of the sea”.  Rosemary is reasonably hardy in cool climates and it can withstand droughts.  I live in zone 6b and my rosemary has no problem wintering over. It is easy to grow and pest-resistant and can be grown in pots. Be sure it has good drainage and a sunny location.
