Tis the season


The decorating season has arrived, time to decorate the garden for the holidays and for winter. Though it does not feel like winter here in Michigan at all, Oh I'm not complaining, we have enjoyed warmer than usual temperatures for this time of the year.
 It does make decorating less of a chore



Because I am a Gardner, my decorating style reflects this. Pots and containers usually reserved for plantings are now filled with cut evergreens, preserved Eucalyptus, fake holly branches and lights.




The choice to use red and silver in these  seasonal displays was not based on the traditional colors of the season, but more for the way they are read from the street


Decorating for the season is in my opinion just another form of gardening







Instead of a blanket of snow this garden has a blanket of leaves.
Technically it is still autumn,


Where there once were flowers there are now cut evergreens and branches 


Like the planting season you are still working with plant materials, and lots of greens.


Decorate your garden, enjoy the season  This we like !!
