Seasonal Pots To Say Welcome

Add some seasonal sparkle with a few simple decorative touches

We tried all sorts over the years, from drying our own orange slices to an agave flower exoskeleton Christmas tree! Some efforts were more successful than others but the ones I enjoyed the most were the pot displays. Rather than start from scratch we tended to decorate and ‘Christmasify’ existing planted pots. Here are a few last-minute ideas to add a potted festive welcome to your doorstep.
