On our recent tour we highlighted plants at the Arboretum that could be lightly pruned with the clippings to be used for holiday decorating. When you examine the vast variety of trees, shrubs, and vines we have growing there, you find colors ranging from bright greens (Arborvitaes and boxwoods), blues (Cedrus deodara- Deodar cedar), red berries (various hollies), and silvers (pictured above).
Next time you are selecting a plant to add to your garden, think about something that might add winter interest and provide free holiday decor.
