Created this yesterday as a Bride-to Be in the neighborhood wanted one to display at her upcoming outdoor wedding. Since these low growing Sedum and Sempervivum plants were covered with six inches of snow just last week, I was glad I had some materials to work with this week. Using a wire frame, long fiber sphagnum moss, living moss and the assortment of hardy succulents, this design is not the best example of this type of creation, but it will start to root into a tight arrangement and grow into an assortment of color-rich texture and variety and it should be much more presentable at the time of the wedding. I hope you enjoy the photos and that they might stimulate you to create one for a door, fence, gate or any other outdoor area. As to free ranging chickens, it might be wise to place it where they would not have access to the plants as they like to tear these apart, for sure.




Now bring over some large paint brushes and we can then slap some paint on the old wooden door that I used to display it for these photos.
 
That is lovely, really neat idea for an outdoor wedding decoration. Do you soak it to water it? The door actually makes a really nice rustic backdrop for it as is.
 
Thank you for the generous comments. Soaking would be an excellent way to water, but this morning, I placed it on the ground and added a dilute liquid fertilization just using a watering can with the sprinkler spout. That seemed to work just fine also.
