It's Friday again so it is time for plants and flowers.
Today is a one-tub, one-type-of-leaf arrangement. It is a large metal planter, weighted down with black river pebbles and filled with everlasting olive branches. The impact comes from using one design of plant.

To make this very easy display, I bought a metal planter from Sainsbury's gardening range in matt black as my greenery has fake green and black olives.
All I did was fill the planter half way with black river pebbles and then carefully 'plant' the olive branches, using the pebbles as wedges.

That is it!
Find a place for your display and then enjoy it. Mine sits in a quiet corner where I like to read and do my crafts.
To create a similar look, you will need:
Metal planter £9.99
11 fake multi-stemmed olive branches £2.99 each
12 bags of black river pebbles 99p each
Or, bag of gravel £3.99

Do let me know how you get on. Feel free to leave me a comment.
Remember, you can use any greenery if you like this look. You don't have to use olives. Try cotton bolls, pussy willow or wild grasses: they would look just as good.

The trick to this look is to stick with just one design of foliage. However, having said that, when I found this crystal-beaded dragonfly garden stick, I thought it would give a delightful surprise to anyone having a closer look.
Have a lovely day :)
