Get Creative with Fresh Greens! 🎄
|
|
|
|
No, we don't mean side salad for the holidays (although that could be good, too!) At Hoerr Nursery, we have bundled evergreen boughs in stock, perfect for adding a fragrant and natural touch to your decor. By choosing fresh evergreens, you not only beautify your home, you also eliminate the need for plastic decorations that clutter your storage space year-round. Here are seven inspiring ways to incorporate fresh evergreens into your holiday decorating:
|
|
|
Gather a variety of greens and arrange them in a decorative bowl, tray, or vase for an eye-catching centerpiece. You can enhance it with candles, pinecones, fruits, or even twinkling lights for a magical touch. Watch Ella demonstrate different techniques here.
|
|
|
|
Instead of traditional bows, consider using sprigs of evergreen to adorn your holiday gifts. This simple touch adds a rustic charm and a personal flair to your presents, making them feel even more special. You can combine different types of evergreens for a layered look.
|
|
|
|
Create a stunning centerpiece by crafting an evergreen table runner. Lay down a length of fresh boughs along the center of your dining table and intersperse it with pinecones and candles. This not only enhances the visual appeal but also fills the air with that quintessential holiday fragrance.
|
|
|
Note: When using candles as part of your arrangements, always prioritize safety. Ensure that candles are placed securely on stable surfaces, contained, and away from flammable materials like the evergreen boughs and pinecones. Never leave burning candles unattended, and consider using battery-operated LED candles as a safe alternative to achieve the same warm glow.
|
|
|
For an alternative to wreaths, make a door swag using bundled evergreen boughs. Customize it by mixing various types of evergreens and adding decorative elements like ribbons or ornaments. This unique decoration will greet your guests with a warm, festive welcome!

5. Hanging Baskets & Window Boxes
|
|
|
Get your home into the holiday spirit with festive hanging baskets and window boxes! Swap out those annual plants for lush christmas greens, artificial berries, Christmas bulbs, ribbons, and other seasonal decorations to keep your home looking festive.
|
|
|
|
Porch pots are the perfect way to greet guests all year long! During the warmer months, they dazzle with vibrant annuals, but as the colder season approaches, you can keep the beauty alive with our premade holiday porch pots! Feeling inspired? Get creative and start with loose greens to craft your own unique arrangement!
|
|
|
|
Transform an existing grapevine wreath into a stunning holiday display using fresh evergreen boughs. Simply cut the boughs into manageable lengths and tuck them into the vines. You can mix different types of evergreens for added texture and color. Consider adding natural accents like pinecones or cinnamon sticks for extra warmth and charm.
|
|
|
|
Using fresh evergreen boughs in your holiday decor is an excellent way to celebrate the season sustainably while creating beautiful, nourishing spaces in your home. These versatile greens can be incorporated into various decorations—from gift wrapping to table settings—allowing you to personalize your holiday experience without adding clutter or waste. Stop by the garden center to explore our selection of bundled evergreen boughs, and let us help you create a festive atmosphere that resonates with warmth and creativity this holiday season!
