This beautiful 6 foot eucalyptus garland is very life like. I am hanging it in my kitchen over my sink. I love the way it brightens my room and gives the appearance of plants andn I don't have to worry about them dying on me! It is well made and beautiful, and I could seeit having many uses! It did have a little bit of a smell when I first got it but I hung it up and used a scented candle for a while.. It doesn't smell any more and it looks gorgeous!
