From
now until Christmas, Wayside Garden Center carries live Christmas trees,
poinsettia plants, and beautiful wreaths that we make ourselves. Decorate your
home for the holidays with help from Wayside Garden Center!
There
are many benefits to choosing a real, live Christmas tree instead of an
artificial tree. Real trees are good for the environment, are renewable,
recyclable, and biodegradable. They take in carbon dioxide and harmful
greenhouse gases and release fresh oxygen into the air. They make your house
smell nice, too! Wayside Garden Center carries a variety of live trees to
choose from, including Douglas fir, Balsam fir, and Concolor fir.
Second
to the Christmas tree, poinsettias are the most popular plant displayed in the
home during the holidays. Did you know poinsettias are actually a tropical
plant, native to Mexico and Central America? Over the years they’ve come to
symbolize Christmas, and make their way into homes, churches, and businesses
all across North America. The red foliage, although often mistaken for flowers,
are actually leaves as well. Poinsettias are, thankfully, fairly easy to care
for. To keep the plant in bloom, maintain it at a temperature of 65 to 70
degrees during the daylight hours and, if possible, move it to a cooler place
at night. Get your stunning poinsettia plants at Wayside Garden Center from now
until Christmas!
Are
you perhaps hosting a holiday party, and looking to add just a little more
festive greenery? Try one of our homemade wreaths or kissing balls! We make these
by hand with Douglas fir, Balsam fir, and Concolor fir branches. They are
beautiful, real, and can be decorated to suit your taste. Kissing balls are
similar to floral pomander balls often seen in weddings, but instead of roses
they are made with fresh evergreen foliage. They are meant to be hung in arches
or doorways, and serve a similar purpose to mistletoe. Hence the “kissing” in
the name! Kissing balls are less well-known than wreaths when it comes to
Christmas decor, but they are guaranteed to be a great conversation starter at
your holiday gathering. Check out our Christmas trees, poinsettia plants, and beautiful wreaths at Wayside Garden Center, along with any
of your holiday greenery needs!
