Best place to buy winter greens for decorating?

[Anonymous]

I’ve found a couple online companies that sell greens, but would prefer to buy locally if possible.

Basically evergreen boughs and winterberry stems that can be used outside

Thank you!

Save your money. Save the environment. You don’t need these things

Craft strews from Michels to Hobby Lobby. Hurry up OP, this stuff goes fast.

Go to a place that sells trees. Usually you can pick these items up for free in the discard pile.

Not sure if you have a dump/transfer station with a shrubs/branches recycle area, but that’s where I get my greens - boxwoods, cypress, holly, pines, etc. free and as fresh as they come and free. I’ve also found on facebook marketplace, which is great for better quality winterberry.

All the nurseries will have them as soon as they start stocking Christmas trees. Many will just carry the basic wreathes/garland. If you want to go all out you can order from a place like White Flower Farm - they’ll have lots of variety.

I tend to buy some red ribbon and then trim my trees - I have magnolia, camellia, holly, and arborvitae. Plus some rosemary and lavender that I can tuck in here or there. If you don’t have evergreen trees and shrubs maybe a friend does? It’s kind of fun to get together and make wreaths and garlands.
