Gather seasonal seedheads for show

Pretty seedheads such as alliums, eryngiums, teasels, fennel and honesty can make fabulous indoor decorations, but you need to pick them before they get damaged by autumn weather. Cut them on a dry day and try to pick those with a nice long stem. Gather bunches together and tie with twine, then hang somewhere dry for a week. You can arrange them into vases or store in old shoe boxes to keep them dust-free until you want to use them. They make great additions to homemade Christmas wreaths and table decorations and look good sprayed with silver or gold paint.
