Bulbs Indoors

Cutting your own boughs for holiday decorations

For tabletop and mantel decorations from evergreen branches, your garden can provide boughs of cedar, boxwood, fir, juniper, hemlock and spruce.

Designing a beautiful winter container is more about artfully arranging cut branches than growing colourful plants in your outdoor planter.

If you still have some bulbs to plant, try growing them in containers indoors. Forcing bulbs provides mid-winter blooms.

Winter containers use branches from shrubs and trees to add colour and texture for winter arrangements that will last until spring.
