Garden “Beautiful, bountiful and un-buyable ingredients abound in the garden and the hedgerows” evergreens and bulbs will go on giving long after the Christmas tree has been assigned to the shredder/bonfire/ recycling van. If you are planning for next year, then forced bulbs such as Hyacinths and Paperwhite narcissi can be planted and triggered into flowering in time for the festive season. Poinsettias are also primed to show off their red bracts in December, but they are tender plants and don’t like cold draughts – even the journey from the shop to their destination can upset them. They can be kept after Christmas as house plants, but to get the red bracts to appear again the following year is a complicated process involving the manipulation of light levels. Cyclamen are a better bet, but there are several different varieties available at Christmas and not all of these are hardy. Gather some decorations While you are out on the gin foraging session, pick a few cones, seed heads and twigs to make decorations with. It is great fun making place settings, napkin rings, wreaths and table decorations from things you find growing outside. Many dried seed pods can be gathered and dried well in advance and then added to foliage nearer the time. Smaller cones, like pine, alder, beech and acorns can be added as embellishments, but the seed heads of plants like Artichokes, Alliums and Agapanthus are of a good size and look glamorous in their own right. Spray them with metallic paint for extra sparkle, or leave them looking as nature intended for a natural (and more ecologically friendly) look. Use the twining stems of ivy and other climbers as bases for swags and wreaths and tie around picture frames, doorways and banisters. Once you start thinking about simple, home made alternatives to a shop bought Christmas and unleash your creativity, the preparations – providing you have the time – become as enjoyable as the day itself. May your days be merry and bright and may your carbon footprint be light. Jo’s 2020 gardening courses are now booking. Call 01233 861149 or see hornbrookmanor.co.uk for details.
