Six Landscaping Ideas for the Holidays

The holidays are no time to let your yard be boring. Bring some good cheer and holiday spirit to your yard with these fun landscaping ideas. 

1. Place festive-looking plants in pots around your garden. Varieties with deep green foliage and bright red berries are ideal for this, such as hybrid winterberry, red chokeberry and rockspray. 

2. Add lights in unexpected places. String them along pathways, at the bases of plants, and around garden features such as fountains. Or drape individual strands from tall branches like long icicles. 

3. String evergreen garlands along fences, on the top of low garden walls or between decorative light fixtures. Hang wreaths on pillars, the side of a garden shed, or at the top of an archway. 

4. Use outdoor ribbon to add bows to potted plants. Hang sparkly ornaments on a single tree or on any row of matching shrubs. 

5. Create outdoor centerpieces by arranging poinsettias, evergreen trimmings and berry sprays artfully in urns, large pots, or hanging baskets. Place them in pairs along walkways, near entrances, or hanging from porch railings. 

6. Plant topiaries in strategic locations throughout your garden. Try your hand at trimming them into holiday-themed shapes, or hire a professional to do it for you. You can also purchase plants that have already been shaped and place them in pots around your yard.
