Natural Decorations!

December 8, 2015

The countdown to Christmas is on! Old Saint Nick will be making his rounds soon. Are you ready?

Now you know Kris Kringle doesn’t like going to houses that aren’t decorated. But what about those of you who don’t have time to fumble with those strands of lights to prepare your houses for the holiday season?

Don’t tell Santa this, but we know a way you can be ready for his arrival without you having to decorate outside!

Let your landscape do the decorating for you!

You read that right! Your landscape can do the decorating for you! When installing a new landscape or making additions, it’s important to choose plants that will grow well in your area and look good year-round.

In this article, we share with you plants that are not only beautiful year round, but plants that are beautiful during this festive season!
