Garden ‘teepees’ are a quick and easy way to add some great visual interested to your plantings.
For Friday field trip today, I am visiting with my friend Phyllis (thanks Phyllis!) to demonstrate this easy tutorial.
You may remember Phyllis from when I hijacked her magnificent yard for a charity garden tour or, from when I shared a terrarium making session at her home.
Today, we are creating garden teepees to add to outdoor pots.
To create the teepees, simply arrange branches in a teepee shape, holding them in place, while pushing into the soil. Attach the top of the branches together using a small piece of green floral wire. Place a piece of moss over the green wire and attach it using another small length of the wire.
*Moss can be purchased at a garden store and is preferred over the moss found in the yard or the forest to avoid undiscovered insect eggs, etc.
Looks like we have some ‘students’ interested in our tutorial from the other side of the screen door!
A garden teepee is such a great way to add some visual interest to plantings with very little effort and minimal supplies!
Have fun with it!
Thank you so much for stopping by!
Have a wonderful weekend and remember to take pleasure in simple things, Jackie

This is a great idea. I’m always looking for different things to do with my pots (outdoor and indoor) and this is an easy and attractive way to add height. Now, where did I leave my gardening gloves?!!!
Haha! Never too early to get started Janet!
Love you Jackie and love your blog. You are so creative.
Thank you for your kind words Lisa! :)
Oh, how cute, Jackie! I just love this! Linda
