Best Greenery to Use for Wreaths and Floral Arrangements

Everyone always thinks flowers, but did you know that greenery is just as important, especially when making a wreath or floral arrangement? When I first starting making wreaths, greenery was my weak point. I never really knew much about greenery except for the leaves that were on the flowers.

Sometimes, this is unavoidable, but you must be prepared to most likely purchase a new wreath each year. If you are able to keep the wreath somewhat protected outside, then you will most likely be able to use it the following year if not years. There are many different ways you can store a wreath and also many ways you s...
