Deck the Halls with Live Greenery: How to Do it Well!

Did you know that the “evergreen” scent is one of people’s top five favorite fragrance? Somehow it smells both natural and cozy — crisp and inviting — and no candle or “scentcicles” can really do it justice. After another challenging year in the books, it’s time to fill your home with that lovely balsam smell and sit down with a cup of hot cocoa by the fireplace! Deck your halls with live greenery this year. Need ideas? Keep reading….

Decorate Your LIVE Balsam Christmas Tree

While artificial trees have become the norm these days, don’t jump on the bandwagon! Not only do live trees smell wonderful and bring back memories of Christmases of yore, they’re the more eco-friendly option. 

Artificial trees are factory-made and laden with chemicals and plastics, whereas our Balsam trees grow as a renewable crop, and they can be composted back into soil when the season is over. 

Balsam trees are often “fuller” than their popular Fraser counterparts, with more, closer growing branches and soft needles. 

Need a tree? We have fresh cut Canadian Balsams, from 4-foot to 11-foot in stock while supplies lasts!

 

Hang a Wreath on Every Door

While a front door wreath is fairly common, you can bring those wreaths inside as well! Put one on the pantry door — maybe the door to the bathroom? Add a little Christmas cheer to the entrance to your bedroom as well. It’s a great way to get that evergreen fragrance in every room.

We sell already-decorated wreaths, or you can decorate your own at our wreath-decoration station!

 

Make a statement with a centerpiece (or two)

Do you have a foyer table? What’s better than coming home after a long day and opening the door to the fresh smell of greenery? Select one of our lovely evergreen centerpieces to don your entryway this season.

Additionally, grab a centerpiece for your dining room or kitchen table! It will make every time you sit down for a meal this season extra special.

Garlands Galore! 

There’s nothing quite like a mantle decked out with fresh-cut garland strands. Add in some pinecones, sparkly ornaments and ribbon, and you’ll have the most stunning display for Christmas morning. (And yes, we sell garlands too!)

But wait, there’s more!

Take your live decoration a step further with gorgeous poinsettias (we have white, red, pink and two-tone available) or maybe a kissing ball or two. 

You’ll also enjoy walking through our garden store, where we have ornaments, gnomes, pinecones, lights, ribbons and other fun decor options to spruce up that greenery.
