The countdown to the festive season is underway, and what better way to welcome the holiday spirit than with a beautifully adorned Christmas tree? Whether you’ve chosen a fresh-cut Canadian tree or an everlasting one, setting up and decorating your tree is an artful and traditional celebration.
The magical twinkling lights and the memories each ornament holds make putting up the Christmas tree one of the most wonderful events of the holiday season. Many things can influence your decision on which tree is right for your home. Location, size, and disposal are essential in determining whether a fresh-cut or everlasting tree is the best choice. We’ll dive into the history of Christmas, choosing a fresh-cut tree, preservation tips, and an everlasting tree.
As the holiday season approaches, homes and spaces begin to fill with the festive spirit, and one iconic symbol of this time of year is the vibrant poinsettia. Known by their scientific name Euphorbia pulcherrima, these striking red and green plants add a touch of elegance to any setting, but how do you ensure they stay as beautiful as the day you brought them home? In this expert Sheridan guide, we’ll explore the art of caring for poinsettias and keeping them vibrant throughout the season.
Live potted Christmas trees are a popular, environmentally friendly alternative to a freshly cut tree. Enjoy the fresh scent of live evergreens inside your home or in your outdoor décor with the added benefit of being able to plant it in your garden after the holidays to watch it grow and enjoy for years to come.
Holiday urns add a touch of festive charm to your home’s exterior during the winter months. Sheridan Nurseries offers a beautiful selection of hand-crafted holiday urns designed to suit your decorative style. As the season cools and the weather changes, some naturally vibrant colours may fade as the materials transition to a dormant state. With a little attention, these magnificent arrangements can remain a welcoming touch on your porch or patio all winter long.
Christmas plants are always a lovely hostess gift to give or receive and are a welcome addition to any home throughout the holiday season. While some holiday plants may seem to be destined for short shelf life, many can last for years if maintained and cared for under the right conditions.
Follow this guide to properly care for your Christmas plants to leave them feeling merry beyond the Christmas season.
