Use plants creatively this season
Estimated reading time: 2 minutes

To create the ultimate Christmas atmosphere at your table, decorate it with greenery. Not twigs or small branches that wither quickly and end up in the bin, but full sized plants that will last and last.

Create a relaxed atmosphere

Discover what you can do with greenery. Why not place plants on your dining table to use as a green centrepiece? Or put name tags on all of your plants so that after your Christmas gathering you can give them away as gifts? Whatever you choose to do, using lots of greenery will create a warm, relaxed atmosphere at the table. Who knows, you might even plant a seed for an in-depth conversation! You can certainly make a difference...

Plant inspiration

Which plants you use is entirely up to you. We used the winter flowering hellebore, the air-purifying fern and the wonderful-smelling eucalyptus. Try varying the shapes of the leaves and the shades of green that you include, to make it a beautifully diverse botanical party.
