A gardener's season never ends

Over the holidays, I started making these boxwood trees as gifts. I hope to sell them next year. This one is make of boxwood sprays, plus some incense cedar and eucalyptus for aroma and texture, and holly for color. It is decorated with gold-painted spruce cones as well as a painted dried cattleya orchid flower. The core is a shaped block of Oasis foam, in a dish with spikes to hold the foam, and the greens were sprayed with leaf polish before decorating. It needs regular watering to stay fresh, and still looks great after two weeks in the dining room.
