Abstract:

A wire frame for supporting a living plant wreath is made of three pairs of concentric wire rings, each pair with an inner and outer ring, the three pairs stacked in three parallel planes and interconnected by welded wire ribs to make up a structurally rigid unitary toroidal wire frame. Optionally a number of candle holders made of coiled wire are welded spaced circumferentially on the frame, also structurally reinforcing the toroidal frame. A method for constructing a living plant wreath using a kit of parts including the wire frame is described. The kit may include a drip bag for irrigating a living wreath at a controlled rate.
