KIBLER PARK – Robbie and Leonarda Jones showed the members how easy it is to make up a Christmas table decoration by using the bare minimum of bought goods and using greenery from the garden.

“All you need is a block of florists foam, a rectangle tray, a few Christmas baubles, a candle and some ribbon, as well as greenery from your garden,” said Robbie.

“Soak the florist foam and place in the tray. Insert the candle in the middle and from the bottom of each side build up with greenery. You can make one side longer than the other. When the whole foam is full of different greenery, add the Christmas baubles and ribbon. Don’t forget to water the arrangement at least once a week so the foam won’t dry out and the greenery die,” added Robbie.
