If you have room it looks great to mix up different breeds because there are red, orange, yellow and green stemmed varieties. Have fun!The Green Ladyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06192726507812730293noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7692811884212633480.post-68904135575066264792013-04-13T15:25:08.492-07:002013-04-13T15:25:08.492-07:00Greetings.

I have a space at the back of my garden which is part shade but has quite moist soil - would a Dogwood be happy there? Seems like a good investment if you can create such lovely things from the branches...Muddy Bootshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03995356973330768852noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7692811884212633480.post-36709248270583910582013-04-04T16:08:57.662-07:002013-04-04T16:08:57.662-07:00Lovely to have your comments thank you.

I invited some neighbours over for Easter and we had a lovely day. <br /><br />Debbie: I love mini gardens and they really appeal to children with their wonderfully open imaginations. This is a project I've been planning to do. I even bought some little ceramic bowls from a...I was going to say junk shop but actually it's one of my favourite places full of treasures. <br /><br />It's really fun to work with Chel. Enjoy!<br /><br />Feeling guilty Caro, but you're out there clearing a THIRTY FOOT LONG BORDER!!! I chopped back one shrub and it took a lot longer sorting out the best bits that could be re-used. To be honest with old over-grown shrubs you don't get that much that is useful. It's the long straight stems with the bright colour that come from chopping back hard. <br /><br />X<br />The Green Ladyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06192726507812730293noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7692811884212633480.post-52391433644412949232013-04-02T08:11:29.324-07:002013-04-02T08:11:29.324-07:00Having read this, I'm now feeling very guilty!...Having read this, I'm now feeling very guilty! I spent best part of the Easter weekend sorting out a massively overgrown 30 foot long border. The branches of various shrubs had twisted and grown through each other, including Cornus stems over 15 feet long! In my rush to clear a community garden, and because I wasn't thinking creatively, the stems were cut up and taken to the green waste tip! With the branches that I sawed off the trees, I could have made some lovely hurdles for my veg patch. *Groan* If only I'd read this beforehand! <br />I will save this inspirational post for my next chopping session!

Dogwood is great for wreaths. I made one at Christmas and it was really easy to work with. I remember making mini gardens when very young, it all helps to give a love of nature!
