There’s something undeniably magical about bringing the beauty and fragrance of nature indoors especially at this time of year.
Fresh greenery in your home during the holidays brings beauty and joy to the season.
Want to keep your greenery looking lush right through Christmas and into the New Year...
Here are my tried-and-true flower farmer tips to keep your holiday decor looking its best:
Hydration is Key
Greenery loves water, and a little effort goes a long way:
For Wreaths and Garlands: Mist or spritz them lightly with water every couple of days using a spray bottle. This keeps the foliage fragrant and supple.
For Arrangements: Check the water level daily and top it off as needed.
Choose the Right Spot
Where you place your greenery matters:
Avoid Direct Sunlight: Bright sunlight can dry out your greenery quickly. Opt for a cool, shaded area like your dining room table. Stay Away from Heat Sources: Keep greenery away from fireplaces, radiators, and heating vents to prevent premature drying.
Keep It Cool
Cooler temperatures are your greenery’s best friend. If possible, place decorations in a cooler room at night to preserve their freshness.
Embrace the Natural Look
A little needle drop is perfectly normal—real greenery is full of natural charm. Don’t stress over a few shed needles; instead, lean into the rustic beauty.
Savour the Season
Finally, take a moment each day to enjoy the beauty and scent of your greenery. These little joys make the holidays special, and the natural touch of evergreens brings warmth and wonder into your home.
