The 10 Days of Christmas
I’m super excited to share each day with some of my favorite holiday ideas as part of the 10 Days of Christmas.
The talented bloggers I’m sharing with are some of the best in the home decor niche and I feel very blessed to be a part of something so fun for the holidays.
If you are new here, I’m Stacy, a self-taught master gardener who lives and gardens in northern New Jersey, zone 6a.
We recently moved to a beautiful 1850 Farmhouse with 10 acres of gardens, sculptures and statues.
I’ve been gardening for greater than 20 years and enjoy helping beginner gardeners find their inner green thumb, as well as discover a love for all things plants and flowers. I love to bring the outdoors inside my home too.
I hope you enjoy visiting my home today and hope you come back so we can grow stuff and create beautiful spaces together.
9+ Holiday Decorating Ideas With Christmas Greenery You May Not Know
Since my jam is plants and flowers, it should come as no surprise that I love playing around with fresh Christmas greenery for the holidays too.
While it’s true it can be tough with needle drop indoors, I’ve got some tips and tricks to getting those live evergreen branches to stay fresher for longer.
Since we just moved to our vintage farmhouse less than a year ago, I’m still learning about the property and trying to figure out how to decorate for the holidays.
There are LOTS of beautiful evergreen trees and shrubs here to cut from, so I can’t wait to dive in and start creating beautiful Christmas decor.
Like these gorgeous winter planters I made last year.
Or this budget-friendly winter outdor planter I made using cuts from our Christmas tree and dried sedum autumn joy flowers.
Or these kissing balls for the front porch.
And this beautiful advent wreath DIY.
Or this incredible Christmas dining table centerpiece idea using a vintage toolbox as the planter.
You can even make your own scented gift tags for Christmas using small cuts from the landscape too!
Decorating With Fresh or Artificial Winter Greenery
With an array of ideas for using Christmas greenery, there is no shortage of options for decorating.
How much or how little you do largely depends on what you are decorating and the Christmas aesthetic you are striving for this year.
But the best part?
You can go with fresh winter evergreens or faux Christmas greenery depending on what you have on hand and how budget-conscious you are if you need more supplies.
If you have access to Christmas greenery in your landscape, it’s both budget-friendly and sustainable to make cuts and create beautiful holiday decor with fresh supplies.
That said, you’ll need to be mindful of how early you decorate as the greens don’t last as long as faux.
So consider all that before decorating this year.

We used to decorate with a live Christmas tree since we got married but recently switched to this faux Christmas tree and have not looked back.
Because it was faux we could decorate much earlier and there was no needle drop!
And because I loved that tree so much, I added a flocked version that I’ll be sharing here soon that’s also by King of Christmas.
But before grab all of Christmas greenery this year, here are 9 more creative holiday decorating ideas using winter greens that you may not have thought of.
