This is the time of year we usually would be getting decorations ready for Venture High Prom but Colton my youngest graduated last year!!! For the past couple of years we have been putting the over abundance of snowballs from my Mom's garden to good use at Venture's senior Prom. Well with With no Prom to decorate for and a ton of beautiful white flowers in her garden. My Mom asked me if I would like to try an idea I had last year and of course I couldn't say no to my Mother and Sierra couldn't say no to hers. It took us about 2 hours to put the arch together. We borrowed a couple of old garden pots from my Mom's patio and filled them with dirt. We cut 8 limbs off othe bushes we tried to keep them fairly log about 12 to 14 feet. We pushed the branches into the pot all the way to the bottom and wired them together Then we overlapped the branches and wired them together about a foot above the pot and again another foot up. In the center of the arch we wired touching branches together in several different places until it was strong enough to stand. Then we placed snowballs on the arch to fill in holes and hide wire.
It turned out lovely!
