Figures made from plants
Boxwood is very cut tolerant and forgives many mistakes. This characteristic makes it the perfect plant to try out artistically. Cut balls, animals, column or whatever else comes to mind. To make the figures even more recognizable, you can also stick objects such as eyes made of stones or wooden sticks as horns in the bush.
