Fresh Cut Greens: Simple Ideas for Winter Window Boxes

Late fall is the perfect time to refresh window boxes with cut greens before the soil freezes. Layering evergreen branches creates a full, polished look that lasts all winter long. Start with sturdy greens like balsam or Fraser fir to build structure. Add softer textures, such as cedar or juniper, to loosen the arrangement and add movement.

Decorative accents bring the display to life. Pinecones, baubles, and berries mean instant seasonal charm. Step back as you work and tuck extra greens into any open spots for a finished look. Tying your window boxes into matching wreaths and garlands pulls everything together beautifully.

Stop by our stores to shop fresh cut greens, wreaths, garlands, and all the decorative accents you need to personalize your winter display.
