At the old farm, we grew acres of drying flowers and everlastings, not to mention 5 acres of gourds!  Times have changed, and the demand for plants for crafting has diminished.  However, I still like to grow some of my favorites, to craft into a wreath or unusual gift.  Look for annual statice, gomphrena, sea lavender, bayberry shrubs, bittersweet vines, blackberry lilies, Mexican bush sage, old-fashioned cockscombs, and other useful plants.
