and pretty soon those of us in this industry will be scurrying about to make everyone's Christmas Season brighter. I love this time of year as I get to work with some pretty amazing plants. Red twig dogwood, winterberry holly, yellow twig dogwood, to name a few. I sell the winterberry in bunches which are great to just "plop" in a vase to make an instant seasonal arrangement. In the next couple of weeks I will be making some very beautiful fresh cut centerpieces and outdoor decorative winter containers. The winter containers are the equivilant to containers we do with summer blooming annuals. These containers are not just something that is for the Christmas holiday display. They can be left out all winter and they brighten up any dreary area- because we all know that getting the winter blues is easy at this time of year. Anything that is showy for most of the winter will make a good container garden display, ie: winterberry, red & yellowtwig dogwood, variegated euonymus, variegated ivy, leucothoe, nandina, cypress, juniper, and the list goes on and on. I am going to try my hand at adding spring flowering bulbs as a way to extend the display into 2.5 seasons (half of fall, all of winter, and spring) I will add some pictures once I have them done. I wish all of you a very safe and happy holiday season and thank you all for your continuing support of my endeavors.
