Festive Floral at Wayside Garden Center

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.
