For many of us, December brings the holidays, and whether it’s Kwanzaa, Hanukkah, or Christmas that’s celebrated, family and tradition are always in the forefront.
To celebrate, we can add some festive touches from our own natural landscape and bring the sense of calm and serenity we usually feel in our gardens inside our homes during this often-hectic time.
Here are some quick and easy ideas using collected branches, seeds, plants, leaves, fruit, and other natural items to extend the garden’s bounty into the winter holiday season.

All wonderful ideas ~ thank you! You've given me some great ideas for next year!
The fresh (& in season) fruits will do. NO need to spray paint them! One just need to "replenish" the fruit basket/ holiday table since kids will for sure be encouraged to have their fill of the 9-10 servings of fruits.
Thank You. Great ideas. I also like to add holiday scents.
This is great article
A small plant in a decorated pot looks good as a centrepiece too, choose one that has flowers. Real Christmas trees smell nice they give the house that festive scent.
