Solidago Wreaths make the perfect seasonal holiday gift. Beautifully created by John and Lee Swift in the Blue Ridge Mountains, Solidago wreaths are environmentally friendly.

Most mainstream wreaths that you see for sale in the stores and online are made from wreath grade Fraser Firs. The trees are chopped down to the ground, and only the tips are used.

Plenty of beautiful greenery on strong stems remains that is not used. That is where Solidago steps in.

By taking fir clippings, and rounding invasive species growing wild, such as bittersweet and privet, Lee masterfully creates these beautiful wreaths.

Lee adds these brightly colored berries and clippings to a base of Fraser Fir and White Pine. To make the wreath really stand out against the cold, grey winter sky, she added sprigs of the golden- chartreuse evergreen from the cypress family.

Pictured here is a holiday wreath that we received from Solidago Wreaths. As you can see, it's nothing short of stunning. I originally hung it on my front door, but then quickly moved it inside and hung it in my entry way. You see, not only do I want the benefit of seeing this beautiful, natural wreath in my home, but it smells like a fresh pine forrest!

As Solidago Wreaths grows, they are gradually transforming fallow meadows of the area to the permaculture of woody ornamental plants that can be trimmed annually for wreaths. Wide green paths separate these plantings, each brimming with hardy native perennials.

If you're looking for a holiday gift, look no further. Everyone will appreciate one of these lovely, long-lasting wreaths. Readers of Happyhippie.com will receive an additional bonus - Get $5 off any wreath with order code: HHWREATH
