How I make a fifteen foot foraged Christmas garland 

Georgie Newbery shows you how to make and install a fifteen foot long foraged garland.
It's mid December and it's full on foraged Christmas decorations season here. I've been making wreaths for a couple of weeks, and now the commissions come in to dress houses for special occasions.
Join me today as I show you how I make a fifteen foot garland to dress a grand staircase. I show you how I work out how much material I'll need, which kinds of foliage and twiggery pokery (technical term,) I like to use, and how I put it all together.
Then you'll see that it's all very well making the thing, but how am I going to transport it? A fifteen foot garland is a lot for a woman of five feet two inches to carry. Luckily Fabrizio is on hand to hold things in place while I tie them and soon we're all set. I just hope the kitten doesn't pull it all down before the cameras arrive!
The list of material I use is:
variegated holly
bay tree
berried ivy
contorted willow
monterey pine
and the crab apples are a variety called red sentinel
For pudging with dried stems grown specially and harvested in the summer I use:
allium purple sensation
honesty seed heads
shoo fly or nicandra phisaloides
dry grasses
and limonium, or sea lavender
