At Nunan’s Garden Center, we love the idea of decorating with natural elements right from your own yard. Using evergreens, pinecones, berries, and dried flowers is an easy, budget-friendly way to create festive holiday decor that brings the outdoors in. Here are some of our favorite tips to help you get started:

1. DIY Evergreen Wreaths

Making a fresh wreath is easier than you might think! Gather branches from pine, spruce, or cedar, and use a wire frame or a bent coat hanger as your base. Layer the branches, securing them with floral wire, and add accents like pinecones or red holly berries for a pop of color. Hang it on your front door or in a window for a welcoming touch.

2. Simple Green Garlands

Draping a garland over your mantel, staircase, or porch railing is a quick way to bring a festive feel to your home. Use a mix of pine, cedar, or boxwood branches and twist them together with twine or wire. Add dried flowers, ribbons, or even a few ornaments for extra cheer.

3. Natural Centerpieces Made Easy

For an effortless centerpiece, fill a tray or bowl with pinecones, evergreen clippings, and dried hydrangeas. Add a few candles for a warm, cozy glow. Another idea: Line up small mason jars filled with evergreen stems along the dining table for a rustic, simple look.

4. Festive Porch Displays

Greet guests with a welcoming porch display using garden finds. Arrange potted evergreens and mix in branches of winterberry or dried grasses for a splash of color. Add large pinecones and a bow, and your porch will be ready for the holidays in no time.

These quick and easy decorating ideas are perfect for bringing a bit of nature into your holiday season. From all of us at Nunan’s Garden Center, we hope you have a joyful, beautiful holiday filled with the best of your garden!
