Fresh Holiday Greenery

Experience the Magic of Fresh Holiday Greens at GARDENWORKS 

As the festive season approaches, homes come alive with twinkling lights, cozy aromas, and—perhaps most memorably—the lush beauty of fresh holiday greenery. From fragrant evergreen boughs draped across mantels to welcoming wreaths on front doors, Christmas greens bring the outdoors in, connecting us to nature’s timeless rhythms and adding warmth and life to every holiday space. 

Boughs & Garlands: Bringing the Outdoors In 

A bough—a simple branch or sprig of evergreen—can completely transform your home’s holiday atmosphere. Whether draped over mantels, woven through banisters, or arranged around candle displays, boughs bring natural texture, fragrance, and an elegant woodland charm indoors. 

Pine and cedar are favorites for their rich scent and long-lasting freshness. Add a pop of festive color with red berries, pinecones, or ribbons to create a custom look. 

For a more abundant effect, try garlands made from intertwined evergreen boughs. Hung over doorways, windows, or staircases, garlands instantly create a lush, inviting environment that feels both elegant and cozy. Modern decorators often mix classic greens with eucalyptus, magnolia leaves, or juniper for a fresh, updated twist that still celebrates nature’s beauty. 

Festive Winter Accent Planters 

One of the most delightful ways to capture the season’s spirit is through Festive Winter Accent Planters. Over the past few years, these stunning arrangements have become a signature of holiday décor—adorning entryways, patios, and restaurant fronts with overflowing evergreens, bright berries, and vibrant foliage. 

At GARDENWORKS, we offer a beautiful selection of pre-designed winter planters, or you can start with our simple Winter Green Planter—the perfect blank canvas for your own creative holiday touch. 

 

Wreaths: Circles of Celebration 

Perhaps the most iconic holiday decoration, the Christmas wreath symbolizes welcome, unity, and celebration. Traditionally crafted from fir, spruce, or pine, wreaths are often adorned with holly berries, dried fruit, pinecones, and ribbons in classic holiday hues. 

In recent years, DIY wreath-making has become a cherished seasonal tradition. Creating your own fresh evergreen wreath not only allows for creativity and personalization but also fills your home with the invigorating scent of pine.

How to Care for Your Christmas Greenery 

To keep your greenery vibrant and fragrant all season long, a little care goes a long way: 

• Mist regularly with water to prevent drying. 

• Keep away from heat sources like fireplaces or radiators. 

• Soak cut boughs overnight before decorating to help them retain moisture. 

• For extra protection, use The Green Protector, a concentrated anti-transpirant spray that helps prevent cold and wilt in both cut evergreen arrangements and live plants. 

 

The Spirit of Greenery 

Holiday greenery does more than decorate—it connects us to centuries of tradition and to the living world that inspires peace, joy, and renewal. Whether it’s a simple pine wreath on your door, fragrant cedar garlands along the stairway, or a festive planter overflowing with evergreens, these green touches embody the true spirit of the season—life, renewal, and the enduring beauty of nature’s gifts.
