Winter is just around the corner, and Christmas will be here before we know it! For a natural, festive touch in your home decor, winter greens are a perfect choice. They're not only beautiful and versatile but also fill your space with a wonderful, fresh evergreen scent!
Here are some DIY ideas you can try this season—all with materials available at Little Mountain Greenhouses.
For Inside Your Home:
Evergreen Bouquet
Add a touch of holiday cheer to your vases with beautifully fragrant evergreen sprigs! For a classic look, keep it simple with a lush, all-green arrangement featuring fir, eucalyptus, and magnolia leaves. To add a pop of festive color, mix in holly or winter berries or a couple of decorative pine cones. For an extra special touch, dress up the sprigs with a few ornaments... the options are endless!

For Outside Your Home:
Evergreen Wreaths
A holiday classic! Playing with texture is extremely important to create beautiful visual interest. Choose from a base of pine, fir and/or cedar, and get creative with using springs of magnolia leaves, holly berries, winterberries, and eucalyptus sprigs! Not wanting to create your own? We have beautiful pre-made wreaths that you can use as a great base, or pick up one of our beautifully decorated ones (pictured below!).
Winter Swags
Unlike wreaths, swags are typically teardrop-shaped or cascading arrangements, that can be hung on doors, windows, porch railings, or even used as mantel decor! Swags bring a natural, rustic touch to holiday decorating and are versatile enough to be styled with bows, ornaments, or lights for a more personalized look. They’re an easy and beautiful way to add winter charm to any space!
Check out these beautiful pre-made ones you can find in our garden center!
Porch Pots
One of the easiest ways to bring warmth and cheer to your entryway all season long and, is durable enough to stay fresh and vibrant through winter! We have beautiful pre-made porch pots made here at LMG that are beautifully decorated for the holidays, however, you can get really creative and make your own! There is no wrong way to make one, so add whatever you want to give it your own festive touch.
