Can you believe it’s just over one and a half weeks until Christmas!
If you’re looking for a theme this Christmas to dress your home, why not keep it real… and get nature involved. Here are some ideas we found to get you inspired.

SUCCULENT WREATH

Make a succulent wreath for your front door or use the wreath as a centre piece for your Christmas table. The great thing about this wreath is the fact it uses real plants so after Christmas you can pot up the succulents and place on your balcony.

A LIVING TREE

Why not buy a real Christmas tree this season and watch it grow from year to year. There is something special about a real Christmas tree. A few tips to keep it healthy, include putting a saucer underneath it’s pot and making sure the soil is kept moist by watering it regularly. You can hide the plastic pot of the tree by using a decorative woven basket or planter cover pot. Topping this with hessian fabric will help stop water evaporation.

DECORATIONS

To compliment your living Christmas tree why not decorate it with living decorations. We found some great succulent decorations and small terranium Christmas baubles. These tiny terraniums would also make an adorable gift for someone special.

Last but not least, how cute are these little guys? Tiny wreaths made out of your favourite herbs which can be used as hanging decorations or as gift tags.
