Read an Excerpt

Nothing says holidays like decorating with live evergreens.

This book will inspire you to celebrate the holidays in all their glory with the look and fragrance of evergreens. You will learn to combine different kinds of greenery including fir boughs, princess pine, juniper, and cedar to bring the holidays home. Whether it is a beautiful wreath for your front door, a magnificent centerpiece for your holiday table, or the Christmas tree by the fireplace, evergreens bring an ambiance and sense of celebration to the occasion. Their fragrance says holidays in a way nothing else can, and the live greenery in the midst of cold winter adds warmth and cheer and a hope for green growing things.
