A Fall/Winter Planter
Flowering kale has always been a favorite fall plant. They look magnificent when most other things are fading, breathing fresh life into an otherwise waning season. They can be difficult to source, at least I haven’t found them easy to find when needed. A few years ago I bought seeds and started my own. This year I got lucky and found a few on sale at a local greenhouse.
I decided to cut down a birch sapling that was encroaching on a trail and use that as well. As the season progressing into winter, I’ll add some red twig dogwood stems and probably some pine boughs as well.
Do you make seasonal containers? What are some of your favorite plants to use?

I like to make a Christmas container with greens, holly and pine cones for my front porch. Your arrangement made me smile; I am seeing birch logs everywhere this year (even Target!). You are a trend setter. :)
