Garden Foliage, berries and seed-heads foraged from the garden are very effective tied loosely together with a few baubles or fairy lights hung from them, especially those with coloured or dramatic stems, like birch, willow or dogwood. Seed-heads from poppies, alliums, honesty, physalis and teasel make brilliant decorations, either lightly sprayed with metallic paint, or left looking beautiful and natural. Practicalities Don’t pick too early – lush and glossy evergreens should be picked as close to Christmas as possible. To prolong the display, or if you’re incorporating lots of fresh material, wet florists’ foam can be used. A quick spray twice a day with a mister is often all that’s needed to keep leaves perky. Cut stems of plants with berries and store them in a bucket of water in a cool shed or garage. Be considerate – when cutting foliage, especially from garden shrubs. Try not to hack great chunks out of them – cut from the back and thin the stems out carefully so that you don’t leave obvious holes and gaps that will look odd for months. Pick delicate seed-heads and stem tracery in advance if you can, before they’re battered by the weather. Compensate wildlife – birds and small mammals depend on berries and winter fruits for their survival over the winter, so don’t pick too many and put out some extra food on the bird table in recompense. Equipment – you won’t need much: a pair of secateurs and gardening gloves (if you’re rummaging through the hedgerows and pi cking prickly bits), some florists’ wire and ribbon for hanging things. A glue gun is useful if spherical fruits and seed-heads can’t be wired on. Once you start looking in the garden it’s amazing to discover how many plants are naturally decorative in winter and it’s creatively satisfying (in a hunter-gatherer sort of way) that so much of the garden can come inside to cheer us through the dark days. The other great thing about using evergreens and natural decorations is that after Christmas they don’t go into the loft, but onto the compost heap (woodland spirits and all). Hooray.
