How To Harvest Wild Honeysuckle For Wreaths

Wild Honeysuckle is one of the greatest finds I have made on my farm in Southern Tennessee…..at least as far as having something to add to my wreaths and garlands is concerned. Folklore says that people used to use the leaves from honeysuckle vines to remove freckles and a bouquet of the flowers was used to relieve asthma. And, there used to be the day when I considered wild honeysuckle vines a pesty vine…..because it would take over my shrubs in my yard. But, now that I have discovered how to use it in my floral arrangements, especially my wreaths, this is vine is just a delight to find growing! 

The trick to making a wreath look “wild and woodsy” is to make sure you have plenty of wild honeysuckle vines to add to your grapevine wreath or your birch branch wreaths. Now, there are plenty of vines that are available to use, but I have found the honeysuckle vines are the absolute best to bring on a different texture to your already natural looking grapevine wreath. Once you learn where to find the honeysuckle vines and then how to harvest the vines, it’s a breeze to run out and gather some each and every time you’re ready to put together a beautiful and natural looking wreath…or garland!
