Garden Tips
Bring Nature Indoors: Decorating with Greens, Garlands, and Local Flair
Nov
There’s something special about bringing the beauty of nature inside during the holidays. At Flower Power Farms, we love using fresh, locally-sourced greens and natural accents to fill your home with the sights and scents of the season. From fragrant garlands to cozy tabletop touches, it’s easy to create festive charm that feels authentic and inviting.
🌿 Start with Fresh, Local Greens
Locally-harvested evergreens—like pine, cedar, and fir—are the foundation of holiday decorating. They bring vibrant color, fresh fragrance, and a natural warmth to any space. Use boughs to line mantels, frame doorways, or fill decorative baskets. For longer-lasting arrangements, keep the stems in moist floral foam or mist them every few days.
Tip: Mix different greens for depth and texture—try pairing the soft needles of white pine with the glossy leaves of holly or the sturdy branches of spruce.
✨ Add Natural Accents
Bring out your creative side by incorporating treasures from the outdoors. Pinecones, birch branches, and red winterberries add rustic charm and beautiful contrast against rich green tones. You can keep them natural for a woodland look or add a light dusting of white paint or glitter for a snowy sparkle.
Local flair idea: Tie small bundles of birch branches with plaid ribbon or twine and set them beside your entryway planters for a cozy New England feel.
🎀 Dress It Up with Bows and Ribbon
Ribbons and bows are the finishing touch that pull everything together. Choose rich, classic holiday colors like deep red, gold, or forest green—or go modern with neutral tones and natural fibers like burlap or linen. A simple bow on a wreath or garland instantly adds personality and polish.
Design tip: Use wired ribbon for easy shaping and a professional finish that stays crisp all season long.
🕯️ Bring It All Together
Combine your favorite greens and accents into centerpieces, mantle swags, or tabletop arrangements. Add candles, fairy lights, or small ornaments for a soft glow and festive sparkle.
To keep your arrangements fresh, place greens in moist floral foam or spritz with water regularly, especially in warm indoor air.
