Creative Holiday Decorations Using Evergreens

 

On this weeks episode, Shane Coulter and Ella Maxwell stop by the studio to break in the new desk! Shane discusses ornamentals and landscaping, while Ella focuses on perennials and winter flowers like hellebores and tulips. They emphasize planting bulbs in late fall for spring blooms and using discounted bulbs.

Ella demonstrates creating holiday decorations with evergreens and using anti-desiccant sprays.

Shane introduces a gadget for watering live Christmas trees and shares his new blueberry honey. They advise against moving roses in winter and suggest waiting until spring.

Finally, Shane brings by his latest honey creation for the team to try.
