This is a nice craft, but only for those of us in the Pacific Northwest who want to get rid of the millions of scotch broom growing wild everywhere taking up precious pasture space!!! Please don't plant or grow scotch broom just for the purpose of making this wreath.

tip
Scotch broom will dry in about 2 days indoors; outdoors it will stay fresh longer. As it dries, it becomes darker and retains the classic look of a broom. In the case that you can't locate scotch broom, substitute with huckleberry brush branches (no leaves).
