It’s the most wonderful planters of the year.

What happens here

Start adding the first layer of evergreen branches around the base of the central birch poles. Use cascading varieties like Red Cedar or White Pine first, placing them so they drape slightly over the edges of the planter. This creates a full bottom layer and establishes the overall width of the arrangement.

Goal: Build a full, outward-flowing base layer of evergreens

Tools and materials

  • Planter — The container being filled
  • Red Cedar branches N/A — Creating the initial draping base layer
  • White Pine branches N/A — Adding to the base layer for fullness and texture
