Festive annuals

What happens here

Once the evergreen base is established, various decorative elements are added to enhance the festive look. This includes inserting tall, white-painted decorative branches (such as birch or dogwood) vertically into the center of the arrangement to provide height and a wintry feel. Pinecones, both natural and sometimes sprayed with a touch of artificial snow or metallic paint, are nestled among the boughs. Other common additions might include weatherproof red berry picks, large weather-resistant ornaments, or bows.

Goal: Enhance the planters with Christmas-themed decorative elements.
