My chickens believe that my mums are for standing on and walking through, which is to be expected, but when I find the broken stems my feathered vandals have left behind, I can’t bring myself to throw them away.
A recent trip with my daughters to a local pumpkin farm provided the inspiration for giving a second life to the broken mums.
Simply cut off the top of a gourd, scoop out the center, add water & fill with flowers.

Gave mine a pumpkin at first they used it to stand on, I use a corkscrew to make a couple of holes and they went to town. They love it keeps them occupied
My husband and I got married on November 1st (it's almost our 10 year anniversary) anyway- we had a few pumpkin centerpieces with flowers. I never thought to do smaller versions with gourds. Very cute, thanks for sharing :) cass-eats.blogspot.com
