Earth Friendly Holiday Decor

Friday, November 9, 2007

When considering your holiday decorations this year, why not go with the real thing? Fresh balsam, pine, fir and holly are all readily available greens to use here in Maine. A balsam wreath on the door is always a welcome site during the holiday season, we've always considered this one of our specialties at Oak Hill Florist. Instead of a traditional red velvet bow, why not dress it up this year with red winter berries, rose hips, small pieces of driftwood or even some fresh apples. Your wreath can be a reflection of who you are - set you apart from the rest of your neighbors.

You don't have to worry about your holiday decorations filling up a land fill, your product is bio-degradable and recyclable. The needles from a balsam wreath can be left to dry and made into a lovely balsam bag. What a wonderful reminder of this beautiful state we live in. Do your small part to recycle after the holiday, cut the greens off the metal ring your wreath has been made on, save it until next year to make your own, or simply return it to your favorite florist or garden center to use again.
