Fabulously Foraged<br />
<strong>Winter</strong> Bouquets<br />
A<br />
fter the fall harvest in wine country, blooms and bounty from the<br />
garden and landscape become increasingly scarce during the<br />
winter. Like the animals in the beautiful open space of this region,<br />
flower lovers begin foraging outside not for food, but for elements of nature<br />
to cut and make seasonal bouquets for their home. Foraging can be fun<br />
because it forces many to look at their faded gardens and barren landscape<br />
to find elements of beauty. Evergreens, seed pods, and pine cones, and<br />
berry branches are like gifts found under a Christmas tree during this<br />
bleak season. If you don’t have a garden, many farmer’s market vendors<br />
sell their foraged bounty, and even some floral departments in grocery<br />
stores bundle winter berries and evergreen branches. Now, the fun begins!<br />
Foraging is about discovering the scarce gifts of nature from the winter<br />
landscape. Follow our five easy steps on the next page, and you will have a<br />
foraged festive bouquet to bring into your home this holiday season.
