In honour of Thanksgiving I’ve adorned the Garden Therapy front door with this fall harvest wreath made with ornamental gourds. As you’ve probably noticed by now, I just love wreaths and firmly believe they are not just for Christmas. This gourd wreath is great for fall, especially Thanksgiving, plus this easy project can be made in just a few steps which is great because there is turkey and cranberry sauce and pumpkin soup and so much more to get to.

Flower Pounding: Printing Fabric with Natural Elements
What better way to preserve the beauty of summer blooms than by pounding them with a rock onto fabric? It might sound a little odd, but flower pounding is my new favorite thing!
I know that’s the first thing I think of when looking at a gorgeous flower. “Hey, I think I’ll smash this with a rock.” Okay, I may not have naturally come to this idea, but when I had the chance to try it at a summer event, I was hooked. This project is a lot of fun to do with kids and it will help you bang out some old frustrations as well.
Flower pounding is a fun and easy way to create botanical prints on fabric. The flowers and leaves dye the fabric and leave a pretty, colorful imprint behind. What you design is up to you!
