Unfortunately, I am unable to book holiday arrangements this year for individuals though it breaks my heart 💔 Please check out a few of my faves listed in comments if you’re looking for service in the Chicago Western Suburbs. Thank you!

Post Christmas, you can neutralize some of your decorations by switching out bows and removing Christmas specific colors and accents. Remember to save them and don’t pitch them (reuse and upcycle as much as you can!) https://www.instagram.com/p/CX9y4NPL35O/?utm_medium=copy_link

Purple Fountain Grass does come back (perennial) but only in warmer zones. Not ours. 😩Therefore, for those with purple fountain grass in their planters, see directions for overwintering indoors https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/ornamental/foliage/purple-fountain-grass/grow-purple-fountain-grass.htm

This is the time of year when you see a lot of Christmas trees on the curb and it may make you cringe. However, there are definitely positives in choosing to purchase a real tree for the holidays! Check out this great article to learn more: https://www.greenmatters.com/p/real-vs-fake-christmas-trees
If you’re no longer in need of your fake tree, consider donating it or upcycling it - make a wreath or 2 smaller topiaries using tomato cages. It may take some work, but you could cut off dead lights on a prelit tree and restring your tree if the lights have died as well. Worth considering! Let’s be the change🌲💝😘

Do real or fake Christmas trees have a more negative impact on the environment? What sustainable options exist besides the two?
