What is a Holiday Porch Pot? Just as we decorate our porches and patios with pots of colorful flowers during the spring, summer and fall seasons, Holiday Porch Pots offer us an opportunity to make use of our flowerpots during the winter months.
Evergreen Boughs
First, consider an arrangement of a variety of freshly cut evergreen boughs placed into the soil of a pot from which the last seasons old flowers have been removed. Use taller branches like Douglas, Noble or Fraser Fir in the back of the pot for height. Fill in the middle with shorter branches and long needle White Pine for contrasting texture. Fill in the front with shorter branches of any of the above and accent with a sprig of cedar and/or juniper.
Pinecones, Bow & Baubles
Add pinecones and a bow with a branch of Red Twig Dogwood in the center and you have a beautiful pot Holiday Pot decoration for your porch. Very simple and easy to create. Ready-to-go Porch Pots and Fresh Evergreen bough bunches available at Creek Side in large and small sizes. Pinecones and custom made bows available as well.
Fresh Wreath, Garland and Greenery Care Tips
Water your wreath by spritzing with water every few days. You can also lay the item in a couple inches of water to allow it to ‘drink’ from the back where the stems are.
If possible, your wreath should be kept out of direct sunlight and away from heat sources.
If kept outside, on a door, out of direct sunlight, your wreath will last about a month in cooler climates.
Should you choose to display your wreath or evergreen item indoors for a holiday party or dinner, we recommend waiting until just before the event to bring the item inside, and return it to the outdoors afterward.
If you will be exclusively displaying the wreath indoors, keep it away from direct heat sources, water more frequently, and note that the longevity will be decreased to two weeks.
