The Teddy Colbert Legacy Lives On

The art and popularity of living succulent wreaths is due in large measure to the lifetime work of renowned horticulturist and author, Teddy Colbert. Teddy created her first living wreath in 1977 and remained a passionate advocate of the new art form she helped establish until her death in 2001.

Today, Margee Rader carries on Teddy's legacy and tradition of living wreaths. Refining Teddy's technique and expanding the product line, Margee's creativity and passion are reflected in the satisfaction and loyalty of her customers.

In addition to the living wreaths, Margee has created many additional designs, such as the kissing balls, stars, and Chaucer the Dog. Margee's designs allow customers to express themselves and choose the perfect wreath to enjoy in their homes for many years.

The Living Wreath Book

Book

Nothing makes a garden project book better than glossy photos and clear step-by-step instructions. "The Living Wreath" book by Teddy Colbert has both!

Creating wreaths that last for months or years is the astonishing premise behind Teddy's living wreath concept, perfected over many years of experimentation.

Create Teddy's living wreaths as fun family projects and community-group gift-making activities. The symbol of the wreath is the circle that brings us together in cooperative celebrations of our relationships, nowhere more eloquently expressed than with Teddy-inspired living wreaths for holidays, marriages and anniversaries, and birthdays on a simple to a grand scale.

We will no longer be selling Teddy's book through our website, but it is available for purchase on Amazon.com
