 how totopiary nest A collection of unusual ingredients expands the boundaries of a traditional design style. Created in a traditional manner and shape, this inventive topiary is chock-full of uncommon components, making it perfect for customers who are looking for something out of the ordinary, thought provoking or creative to spice up a home or business interior. One bunch of foxtail millet (Setaria) is tied with raffia and inserted into dry floral foam, which is covered with preserved Galax leaves and a variety of mosses and lichens. This creates the look of a forest floor, and the weathered clay pot also complements this “natural” look while the addition of a bird’s nest, complete with a pair of wooden eggs, puts a welcome but unexpected twist on the arrangement. MATERIALS: Setaria from LoveJoy Farms; weathered clay pot from Compradores; wooden eggs from W.J. Cowee, Inc.; raffia, preserved Galax leaves, mosses, lichens and bird’s nest from Knud Nielsen Company. Design by Perry Walston, AIFD
