Picked from the garden

I like decorating the house with flowers but it can get expensive to buy fresh bunches often. Instead I have been looking in our own garden for flowers and greenery to decorate with.

One of the previous owners of our house was a very passionate gardener. A neighbour told me she used to provide advice to the council for trees to line the streets and she loved natives the most. Because of this, our home is surrounded with banksias, wattles and eucalyptus trees.

So I took this planter and instead of building a terrarium for now I thought it would be nice to use to make my own arrangement using a combination of her natives and flowers that I haven't killed yet. The cubes are oriented in different directions which gives the arrangement some interest and it is quite large which I like. Disclaimer: It doesn't hold water well though which is annoying so I will need to grab some foam bricks later today. Most of the greenery should survive okay without water. The hydrangeas are doomed though.
