The holidays are a fun time to step-up your outdoor - and indoor - decorations! Here are some fresh tips for decorating with Minnesota Grown this season!
Spruce Top Pots
Spruce pots have exploded in popularity over the past few seasons. Take freshly cut spruce tops and add in a mix of greens as well as a birch pole and some yellow or cardinal red dogwood for a spot of color. Adorn with ornaments or a few pinecones and a bow to finish the look.
You can purchase spruce pots already assembled, build your own, or look for nurseries and garden centers that offer workshops to help you assemble your personalized pot!
Mini Trees
A tiny dwelling doesn’t have to cramp your decorating style. There are several plants that work great for adding cheer as tabletop trees. Alberta spruce, lemon cypress, and Norfolk pine are all great choices that can be decorated with miniature ornaments and micro string lights.
Want a festive small plant that also comes with a heavenly scent? Rosemary cones smell amazing and may even come in handy for those holiday recipes!
Painted Poinsettias
Painted poinsettias are a relatively new craze that adds a modern flare to a traditional holiday plant. Colors can range from bright blue to pale pink and even purple!
Stardust Poinsettias
If your favorite decoration is anything that sparkles, Minnesota growers have the poinsettia for you! Stardust poinsettias are coated in a light glaze of glitter and are sure to catch everyone’s attention at your next holiday party. They’re eye catching on their own but adding some decorative birch poles and greens can take your display from eye-catching to show-stopping.
Assorted Greenery
Banish the drab whites and greys of winter by adding greenery all around your home. Mix bundles of greens like Port Orford cedar, incense cedar, and blueberry juniper to create center pieces, door swags, or festive wreaths.
