How do I help my greenery last all season? 🌲 Here How do I help my greenery last all season? 🌲 Here are my three go-to steps! 1️⃣ Start with soil. Insert your cut greens into soil and continue watering while it’s unfrozen. This gives the branches access to water and helps keep them hydrated. 2️⃣ Know your lighting. Cedar can brown faster in strong, sunny locations, so consider longer-lasting options like noble or Douglas fir for those spots. 3️⃣ Spray with Wilt Pruf! It creates a protective coating that helps reduce moisture loss and keeps your greens looking fresh longer. Follow the label’s temperature and application directions for the best results. Wilt Pruf is on sale now—perfect timing to stock up before installing your holiday planters and outdoor greenery! 🌲✨ Comment WILTPRUF26 for the link to purchase!
A little imagination goes a long way on a holiday A little imagination goes a long way on a holiday shopping trip! I love spotting something on a shelf and thinking, “Wait… what if I put that in a planter?” As soon as I saw these little trees, I could picture fresh greens tucked around the base and the whole thing glowing after dark. They light up and they’re safe for outdoor use, so they made the perfect centrepiece for these winter planters. 🎄✨

Creating a thick, lush garland is a labour of love Creating a thick, lush garland is a labour of love, but once it’s finished, it makes such a stunning accent to your entrance! 🌲❤️ I start with mixed cedar and pine roping, building it up as thick as I can before layering in additional, higher-quality greens for extra fullness and texture. Since I’m short, I like to start on the ground—it’s much easier than doing everything from a ladder! Once the top section is ready, I hang it using thick wire, fill in any gaps, and continue adding greenery down the sides. Then comes the decorating! I used these great ornament garlands from @canadiantire and lots of berries for that classic pop of red. I also added lights after filming for a little extra holiday sparkle. ✨ The perfect luxurious garland for this stunning entrance!
It’s officially the happiest time of the year, and It’s officially the happiest time of the year, and we want you to be able to make our designer planters at home- so our kits are live!!
