how do you figure out the amount of greenery you need for an 8 foot table. I know it will vary on how full you want the garland. but I just need a baseline
That is very tricky because there are a lot of different variables including how full you want the garland and how long and full each stem is. I've found I can get the most fullness and length with the least amount of stems by using different varieties and alternating as I go. If you wanted a full 8 foot garland, I would give a rough estimate of 20-30 stems. If you find very full, long stems, you could potentially get away with less. I'm sorry I can't give you a more definitive answer but I hope this is helpful.
How many pieces of eucalyptus do you need per foot of garland? Trying to figure out whether it’s feasible to make a 50 foot garland from fresh eucalyptus. Thanks!
Nice garland, great tutorial. I love all the props in the foreground.
Thank you so much!
Are you going to update your farmhouse reno?
I plan to create more videos soon but there are several updates on my blog, dianamariehome.com

It depends on the type of eucalyptus you use and how think you want the garland to be. It's definitely do able!
