How to Make a Boxwood Valentine’s Day Wreath

Create a warm welcome to your home with a homemade seasonal wreath. Here is how I made a boxwood Valentine’s Day floral wreath.
My name is Kelly. I'm married to my best friend, Cesar, with three beautiful kids ranging from 2 years old to 20 years old. Going from a full-time career in non-profit leadership to a full-time stay-at-home mom about four years ago was a major shift for me and I desired a side project.
Gardening became an interest to my husband and I for many reasons such as convenience, cost effectiveness, and just the simple beauty of plants! We built two raised garden beds the summer of 2023 and designed our own landscaping, which has been quite the experiment learning the different sun/shade needs of plants. We have since expanded with a flower garden on a small patch of land in our backyard, hence the name Little Patch Flower Co. Our family-owned small business provides locally grown seasonal floral arrangements and gardening workshops for all ages primarily at our Glenmoore, PA location at Bespoken Cottage in Ludwig's Village.
I am still learning so much about God's intentional design in nature while basking in the beauty of His creation. Creating flower arrangements, harvesting my own produce, and watching my seeds sprout truly brings me so much joy.
I hope to share joy through the beauty of flowers while encouraging others to garden even with a little time, little money, little experience, or just a little patch.
