I've Eaten The Contents of My Advent Calendar Already, Wreath Origins & My Big Rose Order Is Placed (Finally!)
Description
Hello and welcome to Friday 5 December 2025.
It's been a very wet and chilly week: I've been soaked too many times to remember this week and it's not been nice! Thank you if you sent me a comment about the last few episodes - it's always good to hear what you think. I have (finally) placed my large rose order and I can't wait to get them and see the blooms next year. My course is going well and I'm just starting a module on marketing, which I hope will prove useful.
I take a deep dive into wreaths on this episode: their history, origins, and the symbolism and meaning behind the elements and foliage. I was interested to learn the reasons why certain foliages and cones or berries are used. I will be prepping the materials for my wreaths this weekend: have you started yours yet?
Lots of work to do this weekend including building a new house for my cockerel, Lion, and his wife, Kiki D, more planting and transplanting, tulip planting, and working my way through my marketing module. I hope that you have a great weekend and come back and join me for the next episode - you're always very welcome.
