Festive garden decorating can be beautiful and more sustainable when you reuse materials and choose durable products. Start by inspecting decorations from previous years before buying anything new.
Reuse natural materials
Evergreen branches, pinecones, twigs, and dried seed heads can be arranged in planters and wreaths. Compost natural materials after the season when they are free from paint, wire, or synthetic coatings.
Choose efficient lighting
Use energy-efficient outdoor lights with a timer and avoid replacing working decorations unnecessarily. Store lights carefully so cables last for many seasons.
Thoughtful choices can create a welcoming Christmas display while reducing waste and keeping the garden healthy.
