our holidays may not be the same Y without the aroma of pine, cedar or fir. These plants make great wreaths, garlands and trees for your décor but need extra care to weather the holidays.

FRESH OR FAUX? If you’re choosing between fresh and faux, ask yourself if the unique look and smell of live greenery is worth the extra expense and work. Fresh greenery can be two to three times more expensive than its artificial counterparts and can’t be reused from year to year. Live green- ery can last from three weeks indoors to several months when kept outdoors in cold climates. If you buy your greenery too early in the season or don’t care for it properly, you could find yourself hav- ing to replace it, doubling your costs. On the other hand, you can spend less and buy pre-lit faux greenery that will save you some decorating time each year.
