Getting ideas for Christmas

 

I always start December with lots of ideas for making fantastic Christmas decorations, but sadly usually run out of time and energy. Our Christmas visit to RHS Harlow Carr always gives us lots of ideas for decorating our home at Christmas. Last year we thought we could easily do the twiggy Christmas trees. We saw them again on our visit  this year and thought how lovely they were.  I think we need to plan well ahead to make these.

One of the reasons for our visit to Harlow Carr this December was to see again how they do Christmas  In the greenhouse at the kitchen gardens there is always a lovely display of natural decorations. As we entered we were greeted by an amazing array of greenery, dried flower heads, oranges, pine cones, crab apples, cranberries, chillies, pumpkins and squash and some fairy lights too. It was wonderful.

I returned home bubbling with ideas for decorating my home this Christmas. I may run out of time and energy though.
